      Buffer Overflow in EF Commander
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.efsoftware.com/> EF Commander is "a file manager, archiver,
    viewer, FTP-client for the Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000
    and Windows XP desktop". The FTP program has been found to be vulnerable
    to a buffer overflow in the FTP server's responses handling code.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable systems:
     * EF Commander version 3.54

    If a malicious server, sends an overly long FTP welcome banner, such as:
         PADDING EBP EIP
    220 [508xA][4xB][4xX] // Totaling 516+4 Bytes
    (Access violation when executing 0x58585858) // 4xX

    It is possible for the malicious FTP to overwrite the EIP of the
    connecting computer, thus being in fact able to cause the connecting
    computer to execute arbitrary code.
