Discussion

4D WebStar Remote FTP Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

It is reported that 4D WebStar is affected by a remote, pre-authentication FTP buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly verify buffer boundaries when storing user supplied input into internal, static buffers.

Successful exploitation will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application; the application typically runs as the user 'webstar' in group 'wheel'. This issue may also trigger a denial of service condition in the affected service.
