? 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).
