Description:
Ulf Harnhammar has discovered a vulnerability in Hsftp, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error when processing file names. This can be exploited by placing files with specially crafted filenames containing format specifiers on a server and trick a user into connecting to it.
Successful exploitation may execute arbitrary code on a user's system when performing a directory listing.
Solution:
This has been fixed in version 1.14.
