CVE-2001-0688

24
FAUCET Score

CVE-2001-0688 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in Broker FTP Server versions 5.9.5.0 and earlier. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by repeatedly sending malformed CD or CWD commands, specifically "CD . .", causing the server to become unresponsive. This vulnerability carries a medium severity CVSS score of 5.0, indicating a low attack complexity and no authentication required, leading to a partial availability impact. While no active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules are reported, an ExploitDB entry for a related buffer overflow in earlier versions suggests similar attack vectors might exist. Community discussion and media coverage are absent, which is typical for older, less critical vulnerabilities.
