Format string vulnerability in Ipswitch WS_FTP Home 2007.0.0.2 and WS_FTP Professional 2007.1.0.0 allows remote FTP servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a connection greeting (response).
Weakness
The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source.
