TITLE:
Core FTP Hostname Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36872

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36872/

DESCRIPTION:
Dr_IDE has discovered a vulnerability in Core FTP, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when resolving
FTP server hostnames. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow by tricking a user into importing a malicious site
backup file and connecting to an entry having an overly long
hostname.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1 build 1612. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not import untrusted site backup files or connect to untrusted FTP
servers.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
