The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the handling of the "MKD" command. This can be exploited to exhaust available CPU resources by supplying an overly long argument (more than 512 bytes) to the vulnerable command. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.0.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Grant only trusted users access to the FTP service.
