Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in xfstt, which can be exploited by maliicous people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the "working()" function, because data received via the network isn't checked before being placed in a buffer. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted packet.
Successful exploitation results in the service crashing. Reportedly, it is currently unclear if the vulnerability also can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on a system.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.4. However, other versions may also be affected.
