Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2004-1642 is a denial-of-service issue in WFTPD Pro Server 3.21. An authenticated remote FTP user can crash the server by sending a series of overly long MLIST/MLST-related commands, interrupting FTP availability. Exposure is most likely where legacy WFTPD Pro Server 3.21 is still deployed and permits remote authenticated FTP access. Internet-facing FTP services raise business impact, but the cited description requires authentication. Treat as a legacy service availability risk. Prioritize remediation if WFTPD Pro 3.21 supports business workflows, is internet-facing, or has broad authenticated user access. Mitigation focus: Identify whether WFTPD Pro Server 3.21 is still in use.; Check vendor or archival guidance for an official fix or upgrade path.; Remove or replace unsupported FTP services where feasible..
