CVE-2026-67192 PUBLISHED

Xlight FTP Server < 3.9.5 Pre-Auth Stack Buffer Overflow via SSH GCM Cipher

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 28.07.2026 Published: 29.07.2026 Updated: 29.07.2026

Xlight FTP Server before 3.9.5 contains a pre-authentication stack buffer overflow vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to corrupt stack memory by sending malformed SSH packets when a GCM cipher is negotiated. Attackers can craft packets with an unvalidated length field passed directly to the GCM decrypt function, overwriting the stack cookie and return address to potentially achieve remote code execution before any authentication occurs.
