Security Scan Reporting Buffer Overflow

Security Scan Reporting Buffer Overflow

This article applies to:

Secure FTP Server 1 & 2

If a security scan of Secure FTP Server reports that the server closes the connection when a command is too long or is given a too long argument, then remember that Secure FTP Server is designed to close the connection if a lengthy command or argument is issued. The server makes the assumption that a lengthy command or argument is malicious and the connection is closed. This is by design, not because of a buffer overflow.
