CVE-2006-6565· filezilla-project / filezilla server· CWE-476
FileZilla Server < 0.9.22 - DoS via Wildcard Commands
FileZilla Server versions prior to 0.9.22 are vulnerable to remote denial of service (crash) when processing wildcard arguments to LIST/NLST commands, malformed PORT commands, or other malformed commands. This leads to NULL pointer dereference that can crash the server.
Impact
Authenticated attackers can cause denial of service by sending malformed wildcard arguments in LIST/NLST commands or malformed PORT commands, triggering NULL pointer dereference that crashes the FTP server.
Fix
Update FileZilla Server to version 0.9.22 or later that properly validates command arguments and prevents NULL pointer dereference vulnerabilities.
How to confirm it
Send: tcp probe to {{Hostname}}
Positive when: contains(raw, 'FileZilla') and compare_versions(version, '< 0.9.22')Run it with nuclei: nuclei -id CVE-2006-6565 -u <target>
