rxBot Stoney FTPd Denial Of Service Exploit

There exists a buffer overflow in Stoneys FTPd that most rxBot mod's use. The problem lies in how the code parses the PORT command and gives an opportunity for a buffer overflow. Problem is that the ftpd also uses select() to handle multiple connections. So when sending the crafted PORT command select() returns NULL making it return and exit the FTPd thread resulting merely in a Denial Of Service of the FTPd with no crash of the bot itself.

Mitigation:

Ensure that the FTPd is updated to the latest version and that all input is properly sanitized.
