CVE-2005-3057

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The FTP component in FortiGate devices running FortiOS 2.8MR10, v3beta, and versions prior to 3.0 MR1 allows remote attackers to bypass the Fortinet FTP anti-virus engine by sending a STOR command and uploading a file before the FTP server response has been sent, as demonstrated using LFTP.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of malicious files being uploaded via FTP without being scanned by the anti-virus engine, potentially leading to system infections and data security breaches.

Recommendation

Update FortiOS to version 3.0 MR1 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability. In the meantime, consider temporarily disabling or restricting access to the FTP service.
