EFTP vulnerable to two DoS attacks

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







SUMMARY



 <http://www.eftp.org/> EFTP is an FTP server and client solution that

allows encrypted FTP connections between the providing FTP server and the

client. The product contains two security vulnerabilities that allow a

remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service attack against the product.



DETAILS



First attack:

Send a buffer of 2100 characters upon connection will crash the server.



Second attack:

Connect to the server with a non-FTP program (something you write by

yourself). Send some characters, and disconnect without sending a '\r\n'.

The server will crash immediately.



Vendor status:

Vendor was contacted on the 26th of August; no response was received since

then.
