==[ Overview
 
Crob FTP Server is a powerful and flexible FTP Server with full user management 
and network control for Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP/2003. Crob FTP Server is using
the standard FTP (File Transfer Protocol) protocol an can be downloaded from
http://www.crob.net/en/.
 


==[ Vulnerability

There are various buffer overflows in Crob FTP server when processing client input.
First vulnerability is the stack overflow that can be triggered with a very long 
parameter supplied to arbitrary FTP command (i.e. STOR) and calling RMD command
with long parameter afterwards. As a result, EIP is overflowed with user input.
Second vulnerability is the heap overflow vulnerability, probably in globbing
code, which can be triggered with characters like '?' or '*' followed by a long
string. This vulnerability can be triggered with commands like LIST or NLST. 
Sucessful exploitation of these vulnerabilities will lead to remote code execution.


 
==[ Affected Version

Vulnerabilities were discovered in the latest Crob FTP server 3.6.1, but the
older versions might be also vulnerable.
