  The skey_challenge function fails to perform bounds checking on the

  With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary
  code resulting in a loss of integrity and/or availability.

  It appears that this vulnerability may be exploited prior to authentication.

  operating system distributions which ship Wu-Ftpd may have it enabled.");
