1. Description:
----------------
Vendor's Description:
"WinFTP Server is a multithreaded FTP server for Windows 98/NT/XP."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
------------
2. The bug:
------------
The bug is located in the "Log To Screen" feature, this feature
allows the program to show server's log on screen.
By default the program has this function (called Log-SCR) enabled.
So a malicious user can trigger an unicode buffer overflow.

3. The code:

To test the vulnerability send a request to the FTP server like:
aaa [1024 of a] aaa
and then scroll down the log screen, so the server will crash.

Bug will be fixed in the next release.
