Description:
mircia has discovered a vulnerability in TFTPD32, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error when the filename received in a TFTP request is used to construct an error message. This can be exploited to crash the application via a TFTP request packet containing a specially crafted filename e.g. "%.1000X".
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.81. Other versions may also be affected.
