Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions wu-ftpd versions 2.6.0 and earlier

Description The issue arises from the lreply function in wu-ftpd, which fails to properly cleanse an untrusted format string. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the SITE EXEC command.

Recommendations For wu-ftpd versions 2.6.0 and earlier, consider disabling the SITE EXEC command as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the lreply function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
