Description:
securfrog has discovered a vulnerability in WS_FTP Home and Professional, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error when processing responses of the FTP server. This can be exploited by e.g. tricking a user into connecting to a malicious FTP server.
