Remote code execution via oversized CCC argument
Published Apr 7, 2025 · Updated Apr 7, 2025
Buffer overflow in the CCC command handler in PCMan FTP Server 2.0.7 allows remote attackers to execute code via an oversized argument. The handler copies more than 2,007 argument bytes into a stack buffer, allowing supplied data to overwrite the saved instruction pointer. The published exploit logs in with anonymous FTP credentials, redirects execution through a JMP ESP address, and runs a reverse-shell payload on Windows XP SP3.
