Title: SunFTP Server Partial Input Denial of Service Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

SunFTP is a small freeware ftp server offered by XS4ALL Data. Like most servers, it uses incoming data from the network interface as input based on newline characters. It is vulnerable to a denial of service if a client connects, enters data, then disconnects without sending a newline character. This is the result of a failure to handle this condition and the consequence is the service crashing immediately.

Affected Products:

  • Rasmus J.P. Allenheim SunFTP 1.0.0 Build 9
