Description

dmnt has discovered a vulnerability in RaidenFTPD, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling overly long requested directory names. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via e.g. a combination of specially crafted "CWD" and "MLST" commands.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.4.3615. Other versions may also be affected.
