What is CVE-2001-1501?

The glob functionality in ProFTPD versions 1.2.1 and possibly others is susceptible to a denial of service attack. By sending crafted commands with excessive wildcard and special character sequences, an attacker can cause significant CPU and memory consumption. This vulnerability can be demonstrated through the use of commands such as 'ls' with malformed arguments like '/..', '/.', or '../*?/'. This can ultimately disrupt service availability, making it crucial for administrators to address this vulnerability promptly.
