Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apple Mac OS X up to 10.10 (Operating System). It has been classified as problematic. Affected is an unknown code block of the component tnftpd. The manipulation of the argument STAT with the input value {..,..,..}/* 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 availability. CVE summarizes:

The glob implementation in tnftpd (formerly lukemftpd), as used in Apple OS X before 10.11, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and daemon outage) via a STAT command containing a crafted pattern, as demonstrated by multiple instances of the {..,..,..}/* substring.

The weakness was disclosed 10/09/2015 by Maksymilian Arciemowicz with CXsecurity (Website). The advisory is available at youtube.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2015-5917 since 08/06/2015. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details and a public exploit are known.

A public exploit has been developed in Python. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. As 0-day the estimated underground price was around $5k-$25k.
