Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in FileZilla Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) An error can be exploited to cause the application to become unresponsive by attempting to access a file containing a reserved MS-DOS device name.
Successful exploitation requires that the application is installed on Windows 2000 or older.
2) An error in the transfer logic can be exploited to cause the application to enter an infinite loop via a file upload or directory listing when using zlib compression.

Update to version 0.9.6.
