Description:
Dr_insane has reported a vulnerability in WS_FTP Server, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
Performance on a system running a vulnerable version of WS_FTP Server can be degraded by consuming about 98% CPU resources. This is possible by supplying multiple dots (".") as argument to the "CWD" command followed by an attempt to create an arbitrary directory with the "MKD" command.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 4.02. Other versions may also be affected.
