What is CVE-2010-20034?

The Gekko Manager FTP Client is susceptible to a stack-based buffer overflow due to improper validation of filenames during FTP directory listing. When the client processes the response from a LIST command, it fails to check the length of filenames accurately. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted server response that includes an excessively long filename. This can overwrite the Structured Exception Handler (SEH), potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely, leading to a compromise of the affected system.
