1. DESCRIPTION
======================================================================

PowerFTP is a "powerful FTP client/server software. The best feature 
of PowerFTP is the function of multiple thread downloading and 
uploading. It can even split one big file into several parts, and 
download each part at one time! With PowerFTP, you will get the 
FASTEST transferring speed! Another good feature of this product is 
Personal FTP server. It can make your computer as a standard FTP 
server. You can add or remove account, edit share directory
accessing permission." 

(direct quote from http://www.cooolsoft.com)  

 
2. DETAILS
======================================================================

¤ Remote DoS :

A security vulnerability in Personal FTP server (FTP's server of 
PowerFTP) allows remote attackers to cause the server to crash by 
executing a specific command (ls and cd command) with a buffer of 1994
or 1995 bytes in length or more.

The command can be issued to the FTP server either by a valid 
authenticated user or by the anonymous account (if this is enabled).
