RE: ProFtp bufferoverflow.

["Epic" <epic () hack3r com>]

Isn't

"The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the ASCII file
transfer component when translating newline characters. This can be
exploited to cause a buffer overflow by uploading and then downloading a
specially crafted file." 

And.


"The vulnerability is caused due to two off-by-one errors in the
"_xlate_ascii_write()" function. These can be exploited by sending a
specially crafted "RETR" FTP command with a 1023 bytes long argument
starting with a linefeed character."

Different?

I am not expert, and was wondering If this was actually something new in
the same ASCII File translation.?
