CVE-2026-67191

CRITICAL

Xlight FTP Server < 3.9.5 Pre-Auth Heap Buffer Overflow via SSH Parser

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

Xlight FTP Server before 3.9.5 contains a pre-authentication heap buffer overflow vulnerability that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to write past the end of a heap buffer by sending a malformed SSH client identification string. A logic error in the recv loop's termination condition uses an incorrect OR operator where an AND operator is required, enabling exploitation on any SSH or SFTP connection before authentication occurs.
