                As can be seen from the crash dump, the application
                has attempted to execute code at '0x61626364' which
                is ASCII code for 'abcd'. Being able to influence the
                applications execution process means it is possible
                for an attacker to execute arbitrary code and thus
                gain access to the target machine. Fortunately, the
                service is running as the 'webstar' user which is not
                an administrative account by default. However, once an
                attacker has gained initial access to the target machine,
                it is possible to access the system password hashes using
                the 'nidump' utility and hence possibly gain admin (root)
                priveleges if these hashes are cracked.

FIX: Disable the FTP service until a fix is available.
