- An authenticated remote attacker can cause the service to consume all CPU time on the remote host by specifying a Windows port (eg, 'CON:') when using the STOU command provided he has write access to a directory.
- An authenticated remote attacker can overwrite or create arbitrary files via a directory traversal attack in theRNTO command.
- An authenticated remote attacker may be able to upload a file to the current Windows directory with rename by placing the destination in '\' (ie, 'My Computer').
