This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Cisco IOS FTP. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
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.
