Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.10318 |
Category: | FTP |
Title: | wu-ftpd buffer overflow |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: It was possible to make the remote FTP server crash by creating a huge directory structure. This is usually called the 'wu-ftpd buffer overflow' even though it affects other FTP servers. It is very likely that an attacker can use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the remote server. This will give him a shell on your system, which is not a good thing. Solution : upgrade your FTP server. Consider removing directories writable by 'anonymous'. Risk factor : High |
