What is CVE-2010-20007?

The Seagull FTP Client, specifically version 3.3 Build 409 and earlier, is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow due to inadequate input validation in its FTP directory listing parser. When connecting to an FTP server, the client can mishandle a response containing an excessively long filename from a LIST command. This oversight allows for the possibility that remote attackers may exploit the vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system. Following the discovery of this issue, users were recommended to transition to BlueZone Secure FTP for enhanced security.

Affected Version(s)

Seagull FTP Client * <= 3.3 Build 409

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
