DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in UPlusFtp Server, which can be
exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the web
interface when processing certain HTTP requests. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending specially
crafted HTTP requests to the web interface.

Successful exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary code but
requires valid user credentials.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.7.1.01. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.7.1.02.
