Discussion

Ipswitch WS_FTP 2007 SCP Handling Format String Vulnerability

WS_FTP is prone to a format-string vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it as the format specifier to a formatted-printing function.

A successful attack may allow the attacker to crash the application or possibly to execute arbitrary code. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation in the context of the user running the application.
