| Detailed Description |
The installed version of Serv-U 7.x is earlier than 7.3.0.1 and thus reportedly affected by the following issues :
- An authenticated remote attacker can cause the service to consume all CPU time on the remote host by specifying a Windows port (eg, 'CON:') when using the STOU command provided he has write access to a directory.
- An authenticated remote attacker can overwrite or create arbitrary files via a directory traversal attack in the RNTO command.
- An authenticated remote attacker may be able to upload a file to the current Windows directory with rename by placing the destination in '\' (ie, 'My Computer').
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote FTP server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
