IdentifiersCVE-2006-2180CWE-120

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Golden FTP Server Pro version 2.70, where remote attackers can trigger a buffer overflow by sending an overly long argument to the NLST or APPE FTP commands. This flaw allows for a denial of service (application crash) and potentially enables remote code execution. The vulnerability was demonstrated using the Infigo FTPStress Fuzzer.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to crash the Golden FTP Server Pro 2.70 process, resulting in a denial of service. Additionally, due to the nature of the buffer overflow, it may be possible for attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the server process, leading to full system compromise.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Restrict network access to the FTP server to trusted hosts only, use network-level protections such as firewalls or intrusion prevention systems to block malicious traffic, and monitor for abnormal FTP command usage patterns. Disable or limit the use of the NLST and APPE commands if possible.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade to a patched version of Golden FTP Server Pro, if available. If no patch is available, consider replacing the software with a supported and secure FTP server.
