Description:
Olivier Baudron has discovered a vulnerability in vsftpd, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the connection handling, which may cause the inbuilt listener to hang or crash under heavy connect / disconnect loads.
