Buffer overflow in FTP Server in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a CWD command specifying a pathname in a deeply nested hierarchy of directories, related to a "CWD command line tool."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Apple Mac OS X FTP Server flaw fixed in Mac OS X 10.6.2. A remote attacker could crash the FTP daemon or potentially run code by abusing directory-change handling with deeply nested pathnames. Business urgency depends on whether any legacy Mac OS X FTP service remains reachable. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Apple Mac OS X systems before 10.6.2 with FTP Server enabled, especially if reachable from untrusted networks. The source bundle does not provide CPEs, CVSS, or a complete affected-product matrix. Prioritize remediation if legacy Mac OS X FTP is exposed or business-critical. If no such systems exist, record the finding as not applicable with evidence. The risk is legacy-focused but potentially severe where reachable. Mitigation focus: Apply Apple guidance for Mac OS X 10.6.2 or later security updates.; Disable FTP Server where it is not required.; Restrict FTP access to trusted networks until legacy systems are upgraded..
