These flaws allow remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a large error string from the ALLO handler, or remote FTP administrators to execute arbitrary code by inserting long hostnames or usernames into STAT command replies during file transfers. With a CVSS score of 7.2 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C), this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its potential for complete compromise with low attack complexity.
