CVE-2010-20122
Xftp FTP Client version up to and including 3.0 (build 0238) contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability triggered by a maliciously crafted PWD response from an FTP server. When the client connects to a server and receives an overly long directory string in response to the PWD command, the client fails to properly validate the length of the input before copying it into a fixed-size buffer. This results in memory corruption and allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the client system.

Cuando el cliente se conecta a un servidor y recibe una cadena de directorio excesivamente larga en respuesta al comando PWD, no valida correctamente la longitud de la entrada antes de copiarla en un búfer de tamaño fijo. Esto provoca corrupción de memoria y permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en el sistema cliente."
