# Date: 03/20/12  
# Author: G13  
# Twitter: @g13net

# Version: 1.9.0  
# Category: DoS (android)

##### Vulnerability #####  
  
FTPServer is vulnerable to a DoS condition when long file names are  
repeatedly attempted to be written via the STOR command.  
  
Successful exploitation will causes devices to restart.  
  
Android Security Team has confirmed this issue.  
  
I have been able to test this exploit against Android 2.2 and 2.3.  
4.0 (ICS) appears not to be vulnerable.
