The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when sending certain test sequences to an FTP server. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into downloading from a specially crafted FTP URI. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.18. Prior versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Update to version 5.19. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Stefan Cornelius, Secunia Research.
