CVE-2007-1485: Buffer Overflow

First published: Fri Mar 16 2007(Updated: )

** DISPUTED ** Buffer overflow in the set_umask function in QFTP in LIBFtp 3.1-1 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long -m argument. NOTE: CVE disputes this issue because QFTP is not setuid, and it is unlikely that there are web interfaces to QFTP that would accept untrusted command line arguments.
