CVE-2001-0702

32
FAUCET Score

CVE-2001-0702 describes a buffer overflow vulnerability in Cerberus FTP Server versions 1.5 and earlier. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger a denial of service, and potentially execute arbitrary code, by supplying excessively long usernames, passwords, or PASV commands. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), this vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no authentication required, leading to potential confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, a proof-of-concept exploit is available on ExploitDB, though there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit modules, or significant community discussion.
