CVE-2005-3684 describes multiple buffer overflows in freeFTPd version 1.0.8, specifically when logging is disabled. Remote authenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending excessively long MKD or DELE commands, leading to a denial of service (application crash) and potentially arbitrary code execution. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered high severity, requiring no authentication and low attack complexity. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit modules, an ExploitDB entry exists for a related 'USER' buffer overflow, and the CVE has minimal community discussion or media coverage.
