Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.14371
Category:FTP
Title:wu-ftpd < 2.6.3 'MAIL_ADMIN' Overflow Vulnerability
Summary:The remote Wu-FTPd server seems to be; vulnerable to a remote flaw.
Description:Summary:
The remote Wu-FTPd server seems to be
vulnerable to a remote flaw.

Vulnerability Insight:
This version fails to properly check bounds
on a pathname when Wu-Ftpd is compiled with MAIL_ADMIN enabled resulting in a
buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can possibly
execute arbitrary code as the user Wu-Ftpd runs as (usually root) resulting
in a loss of integrity, and/or availability.

It should be noted that this vulnerability is not present within the default
installation of Wu-Ftpd.

The server must be configured using the 'MAIL_ADMIN' option to notify an
administrator when a file has been uploaded.

Solution:
Update to version 2.6.3 or later.

CVSS Score:
9.3
