Discussion

GuildFTPD Login Password Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

GuildFTPD is a free Windows-based ftp server.

A buffer overflow condition exists in GuildFTPD that may allow a remote user to execute arbitrary code/commands on a target host running the server.

The overflow occurs when a user authenticates with GuildFTPD supplying a password of excessive length. The password is copied into an internal buffer without bounds checking. If this argument exceeds 32 bytes in length, the extraneous data overwrites neighboring memory.
