Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, was found in HP HP-UX 10.00/10.10/10.20/10.30/11.00 (Operating System). Affected is the function glob of the component FTP Server. The manipulation of the argument STAT with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Buffer overflow in FTP server in HPUX 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by creating a long pathname and calling the STAT command, which uses glob to generate long strings.

The weakness was published 06/18/2001 by John McDonald as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). The advisory is available at cert.org. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2001-0248. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication.
