Serv-U < 14.0.2.0 FTP Server SSL Renegotiation DoS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 69060

Synopsis

The remote FTP server is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

According to its banner, the installed version of Serv-U is earlier than 14.0.2.0 and is, therefore, potentially affected by a denial of service vulnerability. A remote attacker could cause denial of service conditions by continually sending SSL renegotiation requests to the application.

Solution

Upgrade to Serv-U version 14.0.2.0 or later.
