CVE-2006-6576

76
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-6576 describes a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Golden FTP Server versions 1.92 and 4.70. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (application crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending an excessively long PASS command. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for full compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability). While not on the CISA KEV catalog, exploit intelligence indicates readily available public exploit code, including Metasploit modules and multiple ExploitDB entries, suggesting a high likelihood of exploitation. Despite the availability of exploits, there is no significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE.
