    1. Problem Description

            By using a filename with a | (pipe symbol) in it, shell
            commands can be issued remotely on the machine of a user
            who is retrieving files with the FTP client program, from
            a compromised or malicious ftp server. This leads to a
            compromise of the client machine.
