Title: Cooolsoft PowerFTP Server Remote Denial Of Service Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
PowerFTP server is a shareware ftp server available for the Microsoft Windows platform. It is distributed and maintained by Cooolsoft.
A problem with PowerFTP server could make it possible for remote users to deny service to legitimate users of the server.
It has been reported that PowerFTP server does not properly handle long user names. When excessive data is supplied as an argument to the FTP 'USER' command, the server becomes unstable.
