    1. DESCRIPTION
    ======================================================================
    
    EZ Server is a "compact multi-threaded server has both HTTP and FTP
    built right into it." (direct quote from http://www.html-helper.com)  
    
     
    2. DETAILS
    ======================================================================
    
    ¤ Remote DoS :
    
    A security vulnerability in EZ FTP server allows remote attackers to
    cause the server to crash by executing a specific command (ls and cd 
    command) with a buffer of 1994 or 1995 bytes in length or more.
    
    The command can be issued to the FTP server either by a valid 
    authenticated user or by the anonymous account (if this is enabled). 
    
    
    3. EXPLOIT
