Ipswitch WS_FTP Server Manager 6.1.0.0 and earlier, and possibly other Ipswitch products, might allow remote attackers to read the contents of custom ASP files in WSFTPSVR/ via a request with an appended dot character.

According to its banner, the remote host is running a version of WS_FTP earlier than 6.1.1.  Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Improper handling of UDP packets within the FTP log     server may allow an attacker to crash the affected     service. (CVE-2008-0608)

  - There is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SSH     Server service that can be triggered when handling     arguments to the 'opendir' command. (CVE-2008-0590)

  - An attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the     'FTPLogServer/LogViewer.asp' script to gain access to     the log viewing interface. (CVE-2008-5692)
