DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in AbsoluteFTP, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
filenames within a directory listing. This can be exploited to cause
a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted FTP LIST
command response.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires tricking a user into connecting to a malicious server.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.2.10. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
The product is no longer supported by the vendor. Use another
product.
