          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core

There is a description of the issue in the bug report given in URL. What I
found out is that most likely there is a bug in function f_name(). There is no
string bounding checked when making a copy of a file path. That leads to buffer
overflow in function send1extra() and possibly in other functions. Attaching a
patch, which should be resolving this, but I'm not sure if I took the right
approach. Please check it.
