Free Float FTP 1.0 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the STOR command handler that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted STOR request with an oversized payload. Attackers can authenticate with anonymous credentials and send a malicious STOR command containing 247 bytes of padding followed by a return address and shellcode to trigger code execution on the FTP server.
AnalysisAI
Free Float FTP 1.0 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the STOR command handler that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted STOR request with an oversized. Rated critical severity (CVSS 9.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. Free Float FTP 1.0 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the STOR command handler that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted STOR request with an oversized payload. Attackers can authenticate with anonymous credentials and send a malicious STOR command containing 247 bytes of padding followed by a return address and shellcode to trigger code execution on the FTP server. Affected products include: Freefloat Free Float Ftp.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
