TITLE

Ipswitch WS_FTP Professional HTTP Server Response Format String Vulnerability

Trust: 0.9

sources: BID: 36297 // CNNVD: CNNVD-201004-347

DESCRIPTION

Format string vulnerability in Ipswitch WS_FTP Professional 12 before 12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via format string specifiers in the status code portion of an HTTP response. Ipswitch WS_FTP Professional client is prone to a format-string vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it as the format specifier to a formatted-printing function. An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition. WS_FTP Professional 12 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. Ipswitch WS_FTP is a widely used FTP server program that can be used under Microsoft NT/2000/XP operating system
