SunFTP is a remote file transfer protocol server used by some organizations for secure data exchange. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a denial of service by connecting to the server and disconnecting before sending a newline, effectively crashing the server.
You're affected if you use SunFTP build 9(1). Check with: find / -name "sunftp*.bin" 2>/dev/null
Note: This is an older version of SunFTP, which might not be widely used or maintained. If you don't recognize the name, you're probably not affected.
Version info: Not specified in the advisory.
Upgrade to a newer version of SunFTP (e.g., 10(1) or later).
- Immediate mitigations:
- Disable remote file transfers until the issue is resolved.
- Monitor server logs for suspicious activity.
