TITLE:
SmartFTP Banner Handling Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24051

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24051/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
SmartFTP 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/7027/

DESCRIPTION:
Marsu Pilami has discovered a vulnerability in SmartFTP, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when handling
banner replies of ftp servers. This can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow via an overly long (greater than 4000
bytes) banner sent in reply to the client.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is tricked into
connecting to a malicious ftp server.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.0.1002. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not connect to untrusted ftp servers.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
