Synopsis:  WS_FTP Home 2007 NetscapeFTPHandler denial of service 
Product:   WS_FTP Home 2007

Author:    Michal Bucko (sapheal)

Issue:
======

WS_FTP Home 2007 NetscapeFTPHandler is prone to a denial of service
vulnerability. The vulnerability stems from null pointer dereference.

ESI 00000000

75DC3E09	MOVZX EAX,WORD PTR [ESI]	

The vulnerability can be triggered by the execution of a function
with improper arguments:

int Initialize ( char *str1, char *str2)  

By the way, WS_FTP server cannot deal with WS_FTP's secure loader - I found
a few other probable problems regarding WS_FTP but, still, couldn't verify 
those. Exception occurs and information appears on the screen. The problem
lies, for the second time, in null pointer dereference. I am probalby going 
to give more information at hack.pl as soon I fully understand the issue 
with 
WS_FTP.
