Subject: Memory leakage in ProFTPd leads to remote DoS (SIZE FTP); (Exploit Code)

        Hello Bugtraq:

        Not so much time ago a ProFTPd remote vulnerability was released:

" ProFTPd has memory leakage bug when it executes the SIZE FTP command. By
calling the FTP command SIZE 5000 times it possible to cause ProFTPd to
consume over 300kB of memory. Exploiting this bug with more SIZE commands
gives us simple DoS attack. Anonymous access is sufficient to use SIZE
commands and to exploit this bug."

        I have coded a program that do more than 5000 size's requests to the
server, in order to crash it. ©Why in Java? well I think the procedure is
enough simple to needn't code it in c. In addition, ©Why not in Java? ;-) we
don't need various versions of the program for Linux, BSD, Solaris, etc; there
is an unique program for all the OS and architectures. I wanna bet in favor of
the use of Java to code next generation xploits & DoS ;-)

Vulnerability:  Remote DoS in ProFTPd
Requirements:   Anonymous or normal user access
Vulnerable systems:
        ProFTPd 1.2.0rc1        (Tested)
        ProFTPd 1.2.0rc2        (Tested)
        And maybe others (1.2.0preX); I have no test this, but I'm sure you can
do it for me ;-)

        And now, here is the code:

proftpDoS.java
-----------------------
/*      Remote DoS in proFTPd
        Code by: JeT-Li         -The Wushu Master-      jet_li_man@yahoo.com

        Well here is a little explanation about the concept of the DoS:
        ProFTPd has memory leakage bug when it executes the SIZE FTP command. By
        calling the FTP command SIZE 5000 times it possible to cause ProFTPd
        to  consume over 300kB of memory. Exploiting this bug with more SIZE
        commands  gives us simple DoS attack. Anonymous access is
        sufficient to use SIZE  commands and to exploit this bug.

        You don't have to give arguments when you execute the program, it will
        request you these.

        Greets: _kiss_ (the real fucker ;-P); gordoc (no comment, the most
        hax man in the w0rld); Perip|o (tibetan mantras for u! ;-P); and all
        the ppl of #hackers (not able for cardiac XD).

        Vulnerable systems:
        ProFTPd 1.2.0rc1        (Tested)
        ProFTPd 1.2.0rc2        (Tested)
        And maybe others (1.2.0preX); I have no test this, but I'm sure you can
        do it for me ;-)
