    It appears that this problem was originally publicized on December 23,
    1999.  It was reported by USSR to Bugtraq and NTBugtraq in a post
    titled "Local / Remote GET Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in ZBServer
    1.5" (CVE: CVE-2000-0002).  USSR was unable to get a response from the
    vendor.
    
    devix posted a followup stating that the vendor had been notified
    about the problem in 1997.
    
    Dark Spyrit later posted an exploit to Bugtraq which appears to
    execute arbitrary code, not just cause a DoS.
    
    A search for "ZBServer" on various well-known vulnerability
