Multiple buffer overflows in FileZilla before 2.2.30a allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors related to (1) Options.cpp when storing settings in the registry, and (2) the transfer queue (QueueCtrl.cpp). NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Buffer overflow in FileZilla before 2.2.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via unknown attack vectors.

NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor. FileZilla 2.2.14b and 2.2.15, and possibly earlier versions, when "Use secure mode" is disabled, uses a weak encryption scheme to store the user's password in the configuration settings file, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information. NOTE: the vendor has disputed the issue, stating that "the problem is not a vulnerability at all, but in fact a fundamental issue of every single program that can store passwords transparently.
