CVE-2001-1413 describes a stack-based buffer overflow in the comprexx function of ncompress version 4.2.4 and earlier. This vulnerability, when ncompress is used in contexts like an FTP server, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying an overly long filename. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is considered highly severe, requiring no authentication and having low attack complexity, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its age and severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or community discussion, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog.
