Quote from advisory |
16 |
|
17 |
"A malicious server could potentially overwrite key files to cause a |
18 |
denial of service or, in some cases, gain privileges by modifying |
19 |
executable files. The risk is mitigated because non-default |
20 |
configurations are primarily affected, and the user must be convinced |
21 |
to access the malicious server. However, web-based clients may be |
22 |
more easily exploited." |
