CVE-2021-37533

Description

A flaw was found in Apache Commons Net's FTP, where the client trusts the host from PASV response by default. A malicious server could redirect the Commons Net code to use a different host, but the user has to connect to the malicious server in the first place. This issue could lead to leakage of information about services running on the private network of the client.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
