Technical Description
Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Serv-U, which could be exploited by malicious users to cause a denial of service or manipulate data.
The first issue is caused by an error when processing specially crafted arguments (e.g. "con:1") passed to the "STOU" FTP command, which could be exploited by attackers to create a denial of service condition.
The second vulnerability is caused by an input validation error when handling "RNTO" FTP commands, which could be exploited by malicious users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a directory traversal.
