Serv-U < 8.0.0.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities (DoS, Traversal)

high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 4979

Synopsis

The remote host is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.

Description

The remote host is running Serv-U File Server, an FTP server for Windows.

This version of Serv-U is earlier than 8.0.0.1 and is reportedly affected by the following issues :

- A directory traversal vulnerability enables an authenticated remote attacker to create directories outside his or her home directory. (CVE-2009-1031)

 - An authenticated remote attacker can cause the FTP service to become saturated for a long period of time using a long series of 'SMNT' commands without an argument. During this time, new connections would not be allowed. (CVE-2009-0967)

Solution

Upgrade to version 8.0.0.1 or higher.
