-------------------------------------------------
Program: glFTPd
Homepage: http://www.glftpd.com
Vulnerable Versions: glFTPd v2.00RC3 and prior
Risk: Low / Medium
Impact: Local Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
-------------------------------------------------

- DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------
glFTPd is a very advanced ftp server with lots of
possibilities. One of the main differences between
many other ftp servers and glFTPd is that it has its
own user database which can be completely maintained
online using ftp site commands. Using ftp site commands
it is also possible to see stats, view logs, execute
scripts and do many more things. glFTPd runs within
a chroot environment which makes it relatively safe.
The glFTPd team continuously works on improving this
free piece of beautiful software.

- DETAILS
-------------------------------------------------
This vulnerability is caused by an unsafe strcpy()
that copies the entire parameter of the 'dupescan'
to a stack buffer of 255 bytes.

--- dupescan.c ---
39: int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
40: FILE *fp;
41: char dupename[255], dupefile[255], Temp[255];
42: struct dupefile buffer;
43: if (argc == 1){
44: printf("USAGE: %s <filename>\n", argv[0]);
45: return 0;
46: }
47:
48: read_conf_datapath(Temp);
49: sprintf(dupefile, "%s/logs/dupefile", Temp);
50:
51: strcpy(dupename, argv[1]); <----- THE BUG
52: if((fp = fopen(dupefile, "r")) == NULL)
53: return 0;
54:
