Cute FTP 5.0 XP, build 51.1.23.1 was released, but it is still
vulnerable against the same issue.

Sending 780 bytes( in previous build, it was 257 bytes )  as a reply to
LIST command cause a stack overflow.

# BTW, I found another buffer overflow problem. Copy long url like
# "ftp://AAAAAAAAAAA....AAAAAAAAAAA/";
# to clipboard and execute CuteFTP. It will crash immediately.
# Seems like a bug, not a security hole.

Advisory 07:
------------
Buffer Overflow In CuteFTP 5.0 XP


Discovered:
-----------
By Me, Lance Fitz-Herbert (aka phrizer).
September 4th, 2002


Vulnerable Applications:
------------------------
Tested On CuteFTP 5.0 XP, build 50.6.10.2
Others could be vulnerable...


Impact:
-------
Medium,
This could allow arbitary code to be executed on the remote victims 
machine, 
if the attacker is
successfull in luring a victim onto his server.


Details:
--------
When a FTP Server is responding to a "LIST" (directory listing) 
command, the 
response is sent
over a data connection. Sending 257 bytes over this connection will 
cause a 
buffer to overflow,
and the EIP register can be overwritten completely by sending 260 bytes 
of 
data.


Vendor Status:
--------------
Contacted GlobalSCAPE Jan 14th 2003, After a couple of emails back and 
forth 
within a few days, they
confirmed the problem, and siad they are working on a release for 
Monday 
(20th Jan, 03) which will address
the issue.


Solution:
---------
Upgrade to new version which should be avalible from Monday (20th Jan, 
03).


Exploit:
--------
Not released.

NOTE: Because of the amount of spam i receive, i require all emails *to 
me* 
to contain the word "nospam" in the subject line somewhere. Else i 
might not 
get your email. thankyou.
