CVE-1999-0054

Summary

CVE-1999-0054 is a vulnerability affecting Sun's ftpd daemon. Hackers can exploit this weakness to launch a denial-of-service attack. The vulnerability is triggered by the ftpd daemon's inability to handle malformed FTP requests appropriately, leading to a crash or resource exhaustion. The attack can cause the ftpd process to become unresponsive, effectively denying access to the affected system's FTP service. Systems running susceptible versions of the Sun ftpd daemon should be updated to mitigate this risk.
