Several denial of service conditions have been discovered in wu-ftpd, the popular FTP daemon. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CAN-2005-0256 Adam Zabrocki discovered a denial of service condition in wu-ftpd that could be exploited by a remote user and cause the server to slow down by resource exhaustion.
CAN-2003-0854
Georgi Guninski discovered that /bin/ls may be called from within wu-ftpd in a way that will result in large memory consumption and hence slow down the server.
