Vulnerability Development: Re: Serv-U 2.5i DoS

[John <johns () TAMPABAY RR COM>]

Hello Steven,
  You are right about this being a bug. It is caused by
the redraw list control in the UI. Well, I think this is
why it is caused, but I do not have this ftpd. When the
UI uses the list control it takes up all available cpu
cycles that it can at one time, so when a machine has allot
of packets towards services that use list control, it will
use allot of cpu cycles to use the list control. I hope this helps :)
