Robo Ftp · Robotftp · CVE-2004-0286
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
RobotFTP versions 1.0 through 2.0 beta 1
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to a crash, and may also enable the execution of arbitrary code. This is achieved by providing a long `username` to trigger a buffer overflow.
**Recommendations**
For versions 1.0 through 2.0 beta 1, consider restricting access to the login functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using long usernames in the affected versions.
