DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in ALFTP, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application loading
executables (e.g. readme.exe) in an insecure manner. This can be
exploited to run an arbitrary program by tricking a user into e.g.
opening a file located on a remote WebDAV or SMB share.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 5.30.0.1 and prior.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.31.
