Description:


   The OES Netware add-ons in pure-ftpd had a security problem

   always succeed

   the name resolution fails during remote server navigation
   * bnc#700335 - put files into NCP volumes fails
   * bnc#703035 - remote_server feature opens a
   vulnerability with directory traversal & file overwriting
