Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in Nite Server FTP daemon. 1) Requesting an unusually long string of characters in the user command will cause the daemon to utilize all available memory, leaving the server to hang. 2) If a remote user enters endless characters in the password field without ever terminating the request, the daemon allocates all available memory and denies any new connections 3) By logging on and making a request which consists of malformed data and immediately logging off, the ftp server will deny any new connections. 4) When renaming files, if the new filename provided is too long, the server will stop accepting new connections.
