Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the tolog function in httpdx 1.4, 1.4.5, 1.4.6, 1.4.6b, and 1.5 allow (1) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a GET request to the HTTP server component when logging is enabled, and allow (2) remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a PWD command to the FTP server component.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2009-4769 affects httpdx web and FTP services. Malicious text sent to vulnerable logging code can make the service run attacker-controlled code. The HTTP path is remote when logging is enabled; the FTP path requires an authenticated user. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows systems still running httpdx 1.4 through 1.5, especially internet-facing HTTP services with logging enabled or FTP services with user accounts. Treat as urgent for any live httpdx deployment because the reported impact is arbitrary code execution. Priority drops only if inventory confirms the product is absent or fully isolated. Mitigation focus: Inventory and retire affected httpdx versions where found.; Check vendor or trusted archival guidance for any fixed release.; Disable or isolate exposed httpdx HTTP and FTP services if replacement is delayed..
