Details
This advisory discloses a vulnerability within the FTP client in AceFTP. When exploited, this vulnerability allows an anonymous attacker to write files to arbitrary locations on a Windows user's system. The FTP client does not properly sanitise filenames containing directory traversal sequences (forward-slash) that are received from an FTP server in response to the LIST command. An example of such a response from a malicious FTP server is shown below. Response to LIST (forward-slash): -rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 20 Mar 01 05:37 /../../../../../../../../../testfile.txt\r\n By tricking a user to download a directory from a malicious FTP server that contains files with fowward-slash directory traversal sequences in their filenames, it is possible for the attacker to write files to arbitrary locations on a user's system with privileges of that user. An attacker can potentially leverage this issue to write files into a user's Windows Startup folder and execute arbitrary code when the user logs on.

The first line refers to Ezekiel 1 and 10, where the prophet describes the “wheel in the middle of a wheel” and the “likeness of a throne” with a figure like a man surrounded by fire and glory. In Black gospel hermeneutics, Ezekiel is understood not merely to have seen a mechanical or angelic vision, but a theophany—a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. Thus, “Ezekiel said he saw him” identifies the radiant man on the throne as Jesus. This interpretation aligns with African American exegesis, which reads Christ throughout the Old Testament, finding hope and continuity in prophetic books often used to sustain faith under oppression. ezekiel said he saw him -i call jesus my rock- lyrics Theological Vision and Personal Testimony: Analyzing “Ezekiel Said He Saw Him / I Call Jesus My Rock” The lyric fragment “Ezekiel said he saw him The lyrics “Ezekiel said he saw him / I call Jesus my rock” are a concise gospel creed. They affirm that what Ezekiel glimpsed in glory is the same Jesus whom believers today trust as their unshakeable foundation. By moving from “he saw” to “I call,” the singer transforms scripture into personal relationship—a hallmark of the gospel genre and a powerful expression of Christian hope. Note on Sources: This paper interprets common traditional and contemporary gospel lyrics. For specific recordings, see “Ezekiel Saw the Wheel” (traditional spiritual), “I Call Jesus My Rock” by Rev. Timothy Wright, or “Rock of Ages” medleys in Black gospel hymnals. In Black gospel hermeneutics, Ezekiel is understood not
