What is CVE-2005-4888?

The FTP server in Novell NetWare, specifically the NWFTPD.nlm component prior to version 5.06.04, is susceptible to a denial of service attack. This vulnerability arises when an attacker initiates multiple FTP sessions, each leaving persistent connections in a Not-Logged-In state after completion. As these stale connections accumulate, they can overwhelm the server, potentially leading to service disruption for legitimate users. It is recommended for users to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate this issue.
