DESCRIPTION:
rgod has discovered some vulnerabilities in the Chilkat FTP-2 ActiveX
component, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information and compromise a user's system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to the "ChilkatFtp2.ChilkatFtp2"
ActiveX control (ChilkatFtp2.dll) including e.g. the insecure
"GetFile()" or "PutFile()" methods. This can be exploited to disclose
sensitive information or place malicious files on a victim's computer
by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted website.

Note: There may be further insecure methods allowing for similar
attacks.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.6.10.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Set the kill-bit for the affected ActiveX control.
