Title:	ftp 'glob' overflow
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: It was possible to make the remote FTP server crash by creating a huge directory structure and then attempting to listing it using wildcards. This is usually known as the 'ftp glob overflow' attack. It is very likely that an attacker can use this flaw to execute arbitrary code on the remote server. This will give him a shell on your system, which is not a good thing. Solution : upgrade your FTP server and/or libc Consider removing directories writable by 'anonymous'. Risk factor : High
