+ "oftpd is designed to be as secure as an anonymous FTP server can
+ possibly be. It runs as non-root for most of the time, and uses the
+ Unix chroot() command to hide most of the systems directories from
+ external users - they cannot change into them even if the server is
+ totally compromised! It contains its own directory change code, so that
+ it can run efficiently as a threaded server, and its own directory
+ listing code (most FTP servers execute the system "ls" command to list
+ files)."
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Issuing a port command with a number higher than 255 causes the server
+ to crash. The port command may be issued before any authentication
+ takes place, meaning the attacker does not need to know a valid
+ username and password in order to exploit this vulnerability.
