| Detailed Description |
The NetTerm NetFTPd server, according to its banner, has a buffer overflow vulnerability via the USER command. NetTerm versions 5.1.1 and earlier are vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability in the NetFTPd program. When logging in, by sending a specially-crafted FTP request containing a long USER command, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the affected host.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote FTP server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.

| Recommendation |
NetTerm version 5.1.1.1 and later versions no longer have the NetFTPd function installed. Recommend that de-install this package and use another solution or package. |
