ftpd in OpenBSD 4.3, FreeBSD 7.0, NetBSD 4.0, Solaris, and possibly other operating systems interprets long commands from an FTP client as multiple commands, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and execute arbitrary FTP commands via a long ftp:// URI that leverages an existing session from the FTP client implementation in a web browser.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-4247 is an old FTP server issue where overly long FTP commands can be interpreted as multiple commands. An attacker could trick a user’s web browser into sending a crafted ftp:// link that reuses an existing FTP session. Business risk is mainly for legacy systems still running vulnerable ftpd implementations. Exposure is most likely in legacy Unix/BSD environments still running the affected base-system ftpd service. Internet-facing FTP increases concern, but exploitation also depends on a victim browser/client behavior and an existing FTP session. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item. Prioritize if old BSD/Solaris FTP servers remain reachable, especially externally. It is not supported by current KEV evidence, but obsolete FTP infrastructure often carries cumulative operational risk. Mitigation focus: Identify any OpenBSD 4.3, FreeBSD 7.0, NetBSD 4.0, Solaris, or similar ftpd deployments.; Apply vendor guidance from FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Oracle, or relevant OS maintainers.; Disable FTP services where no longer required..
