| Detailed Description |
The Serv-U FTP Server, according to its banner, has a denial of service vulnerability via the "STOU" command. RhinoSoft Serv-U FTP is an FTP server for Microsoft Windows operating systems. Serv-U FTP versions 5.2.0.1 prior are vulnerable to a denial of service attack, due to insufficient validation of arguments passed via the "STOU" command. This can be exploited to crash the service by passing a reserved DOS device name as argument.
Examples:
STOU COM1
STOU LPT1
STOU PRN
STOU AUX
