What is CVE-2010-20108?

FTPPad versions up to 1.2.0 are susceptible to a stack-based buffer overflow due to improper input validation in the FTP directory listing parser. When connecting to an FTP server, if a client receives an excessively long response from a LIST command, this can lead to a buffer overflow by overwriting the saved Extended Instruction Pointer (EIP). This vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, posing significant security risks.
