Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Odin Secure FTP up to 4.1. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown code block of the component LIST Command Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Odin Secure FTP <= 4.1 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow when parsing directory listings received in response to an FTP LIST command. A malicious FTP server can send an overly long filename in the directory listing, which overflows a fixed-size stack buffer in the client and overwrites the Structured Exception Handler (SEH). This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the client system.

The weakness was disclosed with Corelan Team. The advisory is available at web.archive.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2010-10014 since 08/19/2025. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 08/23/2025).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
