Discussion

GTKFTPD LIST Command Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The GtkFtpd LIST command routine has been reported prone to a remotely exploitable buffer overflow vulnerability.

The issue presents itself in the sys_cmd.c source file, and is due to a lack of sufficient bounds checking that is performed on user-supplied data. Ultimately this issue may be leveraged by a remote attacker to influence GtkFtpd program execution flow and have arbitrary supplied instructions executed in the context of the vulnerable daemon, typically root.
