FreeFTPD Remote USER Buffer overflow

When logging option is enabled freeftpd copies the user and the pass supplied by the user in the memory before putting it in a logfile. If the attacker's username is too big for the size of the buffer, it overwrites SEH handler and the stack itself, causing an access violation and code execution is possible.

Mitigation:

Update to a patched version of FreeFTPD that fixes the buffer overflow vulnerability.

[ Why FTPD crash? ]

When logging option is enabled freeftpd copy the user and the pass supplied by the user in the memory before put it in a logfile.

----Code Snippet----
78001D5D   MOV ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[ESP+4]  Ftpd put in ECX SP+4 that point to the user supplied data.
--------------------


If attacker's username is too big for the size of the buffer first we go to overwrite SEH handler(1011 bytes) and then the stack itself.

Beacuse stack point to our buffer this code

----Code Snippet----
78001D90   MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[ECX]
--------------------

will cause an access violation.

Code Execution is possible.
