| Detailed Description |
The WU-FTPD server, according to its version number, may allow a malicious user to overwrite arbitrary files via the RNFR command. WU-FTPD versions 2.4.1 and earlier could allow a remote authenticated attacker to overwrite any file on the affected system as root, resulting in a loss of integrity. This flaw can be triggered when an attacker sends a specially formed rnfr command.
