CVE-2014-8517 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-8517):
  The fetch_url function in usr.bin/ftp/fetch.c in tnftp, as used in NetBSD
  5.1 through 5.1.4, 5.2 through 5.2.2, 6.0 through 6.0.6, and 6.1 through
  6.1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a | (pipe)
  character at the end of an HTTP redirect.
