Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application when handling checksums. A remote attacker can trick the victim into connecting to an attacker-controlled server and enumerate contents of arbitrary files on the client's machine, basically allowing a rouge server to read contents byte-by-byte of any file on the client's system.
This issue occurs when files are being copied from a client to a server.
Remediation
Install updates from vendor's website.
