Double free vulnerability in the getreply function in ftp.c in netkit ftp (netkit-ftp) 0.17 20040614 and later allows remote FTP servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via some types of FTP protocol behavior. NOTE: the netkit-ftpd issue is covered by CVE-2007-6263.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This affects the legacy netkit FTP client, not the FTP server issue covered separately. A malicious or unexpected FTP server could crash the client, disrupting users or automated jobs. The sources also mention possible unspecified other impact, but provide no confirmed severity, CVSS score, or active exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely on older Unix/Linux systems still using netkit-ftp, especially scripts or users connecting to untrusted, compromised, or internet-hosted FTP servers. It should not be assumed to affect netkit-ftpd; that is identified as CVE-2007-6263. Handle as legacy-risk cleanup unless critical workflows rely on this client against untrusted FTP servers. Priority rises where automated business processes could fail from client crashes. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for installed netkit-ftp packages and versions.; Apply relevant vendor or distribution updates where available.; Replace legacy netkit-ftp where business use no longer requires it..
