VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26737/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Magellan Explorer 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/15638/

DESCRIPTION:
Gynvael Coldwind has discovered a vulnerability in Magellan Explorer,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error when
handling the filename of downloaded files through FTP. This can be
exploited to e.g. create files in arbitrary locations via directory
traversal attacks.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into
downloading a file with a specially-crafted filename from a malicious
FTP server.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.32 Build 2305. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not connect to untrusted FTP servers.
