The FTP client in Windows XP SP1 and Server 2003, and Internet Explorer 6 SP1 on Windows 2000 SP4, when "Enable Folder View for FTP Sites" is enabled and the user manually initiates a file transfer, allows user-assisted, remote FTP servers to overwrite files in arbitrary locations via crafted filenames.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Windows FTP client issue. If a user connects to a malicious FTP server and manually transfers a file while FTP folder view is enabled, crafted filenames can cause files to be overwritten outside the intended location. Exposure is mainly legacy or unsupported Windows environments where users still use Explorer or IE FTP folder view against untrusted FTP servers. Modern managed fleets are unlikely to be exposed unless old systems remain operational. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item. It is not supported as actively exploited here, but affected systems are obsolete and should be patched, isolated, or retired. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft MS05-044 or any applicable superseding vendor update.; Disable FTP folder view where patching is not immediately possible.; Restrict users from accessing untrusted FTP servers on affected systems..
