Titan FTP Server Aborted LIST DoS
----------------------------------------------------

Article reference:
http://www.securiteam.com/windowsntfocus/5RP0215CUU.html

SUMMARY

A security vulnerability exists in South River Technologies' Titan FTP Server.
An attacker issuing a LIST command and disconnecting before the LIST command
had the time to connect, will cause the program to try and access an invalid
socket. This will result in the FTP service's crash (and in turn, no longer
being able to service any additional users).

Immune Systems:
* Titan FTP Server version 3.10 build 169
