GoodTech's FTP Server vulnerable to a DoS (RNTO)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------







SUMMARY



 <http://www.goodtechsys.com/> GoodTech's FTP Server contains a security

hole that allows a remote user to launch a Denial of Service attack

against the product just by sending a simple FTP command.



DETAILS



Vulnerable systems:

FTP Server dated before 26/08/2000 (3.0.1, and 3.0)



Immune systems:

FTP Server dated 26/08/2000 and later



By issuing a RNTO command to GoodTech's FTP Server it is possible to cause

it to hang, effectively blocking the listening socket thread. If done

enough times this can be used to exhaust all available sockets of the

server, effectively causing a Denial of Service attack.



Patch:

The immune version can be downloaded from:
