SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38933

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38933/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in httpdx, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerabilities caused due to integer underflows when processing
certain FTP commands, which can be exploited to crash the service by
e.g. sending FTP "USER" and "PASS" commands with only a zero byte
(0x00) as parameter.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.53b. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the FTP server using a firewall.
