CVE-2005-0256
Description
From CVE.org
The wu_fnmatch function in wu_fnmatch.c in wu-ftpd 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU exhaustion by recursion) via a glob pattern with a large number of * (wildcard) characters, as demonstrated using the dir command.
Statement
Not vulnerable. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 shipped with wu-ftpd, however we were unable to reproduce this issue. Additionally, a code analysis showed that attempts to exploit this issue would be caught in the versions we shipped. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149720
