CVE-2012-10023

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in FreeFloat FTP Server version 1.0.0. The server fails to properly validate input passed to the USER command, allowing remote attackers to overwrite memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. The flaw is triggered by sending an overly long username string, which overflows the buffer allocated for user authentication.

Summary		(es) Existe una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer en la pila en FreeFloat FTP Server version 1.0.0. El servidor no valida correctamente la entrada enviada al comando USER, lo que permite a atacantes remotos sobrescribir la memoria y potencialmente ejecutar código arbitrario. La falla se activa al enviar una cadena de nombre de usuario demasiado larga, lo que desborda el búfer asignado para la autenticación de usuarios.
