Th remote Wu-FTPD server fails to properly check bounds on a pathname when Wu-Ftpd is compiled with MAIL_ADMIN enabled resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can possibly execute arbitrary code as the user Wu-Ftpd runs as (usually root) resulting in a loss of integrity, and/or availability.
It should be noted that this vulnerability is not present within the default installation of Wu-Ftpd.
The server must be configured using the ‘MAIL_ADMIN’ option to notify an administrator when a file has been uploaded.
*** Nessus solely relied on the banner of the remote server*** to issue this warning, so it may be a false positive.
