CVE-2004-0159
Format string vulnerability in hsftp 1.11 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via file names containing format string characters that are not properly handled when executing an "ls" command.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (9.02%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
