Debian: oftpd Denial of service vulnerability
Summary
A vulnerability was discovered in oftpd, an anonymous FTP server,
whereby a remote attacker could cause the oftpd process to crash by
specifying a large value in a PORT command.
For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.3.6-6.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 20040304-1.
We recommend that you update your oftpd package.
