It has been reported that wzftpd is prone to a remote denial of service condition due to malicious user-supplied input. The problem is reported to present itself when a remote attacker sends a single CRLF character to the vulnerable program during the login process. This attack may cause the software to improperly handle the exceptional condition and lead to a crash. Successful exploitation of this attack may allow a remote attacker to cause the vulnerable process to crash. wzdftpd version 0.1rc5 has been reported to be prone to this vulnerability, however other version across various platforms may be affected as well.
