VAR-200412-1139
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:21Multiple buffer overflows in Ipswitch WS_FTP Server 4.0.2 (1) allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code by causing a large error string to be generated by the ALLO handler, or (2) may allow remote FTP administrators to execute arbitrary code by causing a long hostname or username to be inserted into a reply to a STAT command while a file is being transferred. Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in the WS_FTP Server and client applications. The issues include two remote buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the client, a denial of service vulnerability in the server and an access validation issue in the server leading to remote command execution with SYSTEM privileges. These issues are undergoing further analysis. This BID will be divided into separate issues as analysis is completed. Progress Software Ipswitch WS_FTP Server is a set of FTP server software developed by Progress Software Company in the United States. It provides functions such as file transfer control and transfer encryption. A buffer error vulnerability exists in Progress Software Ipswitch WS_FTP Server version 4.0.2
