Discussion

Internet Download Manager FTP Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Internet Download Manager (IDM) is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

This issue affects IDM 5.18; prior versions may also be vulnerable.
