    <p>
    gFTP is a GNOME based, multi-threaded file transfer client.
    </p>

    gFTP lacks input validation of filenames received by remote
    servers.

  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious FTP
    server and conduct a directory traversal attack by making use of
    specially crafted filenames. This could lead to arbitrary files being
    created or overwritten.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All gFTP users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-ftp/gftp-2.0.18-r1"</code>
  </resolution>
