CWE-119Published: November 17, 2008· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
Buffer overflow in KarjaSoft Sami FTP Server 2.0.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a long argument to an arbitrary command, which triggers the overflow when the SamyFtp.binlog log file is viewed in the management console. NOTE: this may overlap CVE-2006-0441 and CVE-2006-2212.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2008-5106 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-119): Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service by corrupting adjacent memory.
