Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
PSFtp ist eine benutzerfreundliche, ergonomische, kompakte und zuverlässige FTP Client Software mit einem großen 
Funktionsumfang. Was ist ein FTP Client? Das ist ein Programm (einige nennen es auch einfach ein FTP Programm), welches 
mit einem Dateimanager vergleichbar ist. Nur greift es nicht etwa auf eine andere Partition oder ein anderes Laufwerk zu, 
sondern auf einen Rechner im Internet - auf einen FTP Server. Ein FTP Client eignet sich bestens für die Homepage-Pflege 
(natürlich nicht nur dafür). Sie können z.B. Ihre Homepage-Dateien leicht auf einen FTP Server hochladen (engl. Upload) 
oder auch irgendwelche Dateien herunterladen (engl. Download).

Technical Details & Description:
================================
A Null Pointer Dereference (DoS) Vulnerability is detected in PSFTP v.1.8 Build 921. The vulnerability allows an 
local privileged user to crash down the service with a persistent effect(stable). The bug is located when processing 
to load large unicode keys over the license management box of the psftp client software. The inserted unicode or numeric 
string got saved on the PSFTP_Key.dat which results in the stable null pointer dereference crash after the software restart.
Successful exploitation results in a stable (bex exception) application (StackHash_e98d) crash.
