DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in httpdx, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and
by malicious users to potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An error when handling HTTP requests can be exploited to crash the
service by sending multiple HTTP requests.

2) An error when handling FTP requests can be exploited to cause a
crash and potentially execute arbitrary code by sending multiple FTP
requests.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.5.4. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted users only.
