Description
Problem Description: A malicious HTTP server could cause ftp(1) to execute arbitrary commands. Impact: When operating on HTTP URIs, the ftp(1) client follows HTTP redirects, and uses the part of the path after the last '/' from the last resource it accesses as the output filename if '-o' is not specified. If the output file name provided by the server begins with a pipe ('|'), the output is passed to popen(3), which might be used to execute arbitrary commands on the ftp(1) client machine.
