Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Gentoo reports :

Kalle Olavi Niemitalo discovered two boundary errors in fsplib code included in gFTP when processing overly long directory or file names.

A remote attacker could trigger these vulnerabilities by enticing a user to download a file with a specially crafted directory or file name, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

Solution

Update the affected package.
