WS_FTP Server has been reported prone to a resource consumption issue that may lead to a denial of service. It has been reported that a remote attacker may trigger this vulnerability by passing a sequence of periods as an argument of the Change Working Directory FTP command. Subsequent to this action, the attacker will need to create a directory. This will reportedly cause the WS_FTP server to exponentially consume system resources and behave in an unstable manner.
