CVE-2006-2172
Buffer overflow in Gene6 FTP Server 3.1.0 allows remote authenticated attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument to (1) MKD or (2) XMKD, as demonstrated by the Infigo FTPStress Fuzzer.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.20%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
