    Package        : moxftp
    Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
    Problem-Type   : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id         : CAN-2003-0203
    
    Knud Erik Højgaard discovered a vulnerability in moxftp (and xftp
    respectively), an Athena X interface to FTP.  Insufficient bounds
    checking could lead to execution of arbitrary code, provided by a
    malicious FTP server.   Erik Tews fixed this.
    
    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.2-18.1.
    
    For the old stable distribution (potato) this problem has been fixed
    in version 2.2-13.1.
    
    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed
    in version 2.2-18.20.
    
    We recommend that you upgrade your xftp package.
