Discussion

Marbry Software FTPServer/X Controls Server Response Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Marbry Software FTPServer/X has been reported prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability when processing server responses of excessive length.

The issue presents itself, likely due to a lack of sufficient bounds checking performed by wsprintf() when copying attacker-supplied data into an internal memory buffer. The data contained in this buffer, under normal circumstances, is transmitted to the remote user as a part of an FTP server status response message.

A remote attacker may exploit this condition to trigger a persistent denial of service condition; code execution may also be possible.

It should be noted that any software that implements the Marbry Software FTPServer/X control, is likely affected by this vulnerability. It has been confirmed that this control is in use by Mollensoft(Hyperion) FTP Server. This issue is related to BID 7307 and possibly BID 6345.
