Pure-FTPd 1.0.48 – Remote Denial of Service
Pure-FTPd only lets a certain amount of connections to be made to the server, so, by repeatedly making new connections to the server, you can block other legitimite users from making a connection to the server, if the the connections/ip isn't limited.
Mitigation:
Limit the number of connections to the server, use a firewall to block malicious IPs, and use a proxy server to filter out malicious requests.
