On 09 May 2007, Cisco published a Security advisory about multiple IOS FTP Server vulnetabilities.
Cisco IOS FTP Server is prone to multiple vulnerabilities including a denial-of-service issue and an authentication-bypass issue. Attackers can exploit these issues to deny service to legitimate users, gain unauthorized access to an affected device, or execute arbitrary code. Only IOS devices that have the FTP Server feature enabled are vulnerable; this feature is disabled by default.
The vulnerable produtcs are IOS versions 11.3, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4 contain the IOS FTP server feature.
If somebody would test this vulnerability (ONLY TEST…), I have find the exploit on the SecurityFocus site.
/*
Cisco IOS FTP server remote exploit by Andy Davis 2008
Cisco Advisory ID: cisco-sa-20070509-iosftp - May 2007
Specific hard-coded addresses for IOS 12.3(18) on a 2621XM router
Removes the requirement to authenticate and escalates to level 15
*********************************************************************
To protect the innocent a critical step has been omitted, which means
the shellcode will only execute when the router is attached to gdb.
I'm sure the PowerPC shellcoders out there will work it out...
*********************************************************************
Thanks to Gyan Chawdhary and Varun Uppal for all the hours they spent
on the original IOS security research
