Bug Description

Binary package hint: gftp

References:
MDVSA-2008:018 (http://www.mandriva.com/en/security/advisories?name=MDVSA-2008:018)

Quoting:
"Kalle Olavi Niemitalo found two boundary errors in the fsplib library,
 a copy of which is included in gFTP source. A remote attacer 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)."

Looking at fsplib code shipped with gftp and this upstream's patch (http://fsp.cvs.sourceforge.net/fsp/fsplib/fsplib.c?r1=1.15&r2=1.16), it seems that we don't need to do anything.
