CVE-2010-20045 (GCVE-0-2010-20045)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-08-20 15:32 – Updated: 2025-08-20 19:17
VLAI?
Summary
FileWrangler <= 5.30 suffers from a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability when parsing directory listings from an FTP server. A malicious server can send an overlong folder name in response to a LIST command, triggering memory corruption during client-side rendering. Exploitation requires passive user interaction—simply connecting to the server—without further input. Successful exploitation may lead to arbitrary code execution.
Severity ?
8.5 (High)
