What is CVE-2005-3683?

The vulnerability occurs in freeFTPd versions prior to 1.0.9 when logging is enabled. A flaw in the handling of overly long USER commands can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. This condition enables remote attackers to crash the application, resulting in a denial of service, and could potentially allow them to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. This highlights the importance of promptly applying security updates and employing robust security configurations to mitigate such risks.
