The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing data sent to the server. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted, overly long string (greater than 320 bytes). Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.9. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Upgrade to version 5.0.
