CVE-2026-67192 Details
Description
Xlight FTP Server before 3.9.5 contains a pre-authentication stack buffer overflow vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to corrupt stack memory by sending malformed SSH packets when a GCM cipher is negotiated. Attackers can craft packets with an unvalidated length field passed directly to the GCM decrypt function, overwriting the stack cookie and return address to potentially achieve remote code execution before any authentication occurs.
A pre-authentication stack buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in Xlight FTP Server versions prior to 3.9.5. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to corrupt stack memory by sending malformed SSH packets during the negotiation of GCM ciphers. Exploitation involves crafting packets with an unvalidated length field that is passed directly to the GCM decryption function. This manipulation can overwrite the stack cookie and return address, potentially leading to remote code execution before authentication is completed.
