C-Kermit before 11.1.515 contains an OS command injection vulnerability that allows remote clients to execute shell commands by supplying unquoted arguments to REMOTE WHO or REMOTE SPACE. Attackers can append shell metacharacters to arguments passed through WHOCMD or SPACM2 to syscmd(), executing commands on the server host even when DISABLE HOST is set.
C-Kermit 8.0.200 before 11.1.515 contains an improper certificate hostname validation vulnerability that allows attackers to impersonate hosts by abusing wildcard matching in dNSNamecmp() in ckssl.c. Attackers holding a trusted certificate with over-matching names containing asterisks, question marks, brackets, or empty labels can intercept credentials and data over Telnet, FTP, and HTTP TLS connections.
C-Kermit 8.0.200 before 11.1.515 contains a path traversal vulnerability in doftpget() in ckcftp.c that allows malicious FTP servers to write files outside the intended directory. Attackers can return absolute paths, tilde names, or dot-dot components in NLST or MLSD listings during MGET /RECURSIVE to overwrite files like .bashrc, leading to code execution.
