    <p>
    Kalle Olavi Niemitalo discovered two boundary errors in fsplib code
    included in gFTP when processing overly long directory or file names.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    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
    (CVE-2007-3962) or a Denial of Service (CVE-2007-3961).
    </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 &quot;&gt;=net-ftp/gftp-2.0.18-r6&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
