Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.14372
Category:FTP
Title:wu-ftpd S/KEY authentication overflow
Summary:The remote Wu-FTPd server seems to be vulnerable to a remote overflow.
Description:Summary:
The remote Wu-FTPd server seems to be vulnerable to a remote overflow.

Vulnerability Insight:
This version contains a remote overflow if s/key support is enabled.

The skey_challenge function fails to perform bounds checking on the
name variable resulting in a buffer overflow.

With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary
code resulting in a loss of integrity and/or availability.

It appears that this vulnerability may be exploited prior to authentication.
It is reported that S/Key support is not enabled by default, though some
operating system distributions which ship Wu-Ftpd may have it enabled.

Solution:
Upgrade to Wu-FTPd 2.6.3 when available or disable SKEY or apply the
patches available at the referenced vendor homepage.

CVSS Score:
