Anyone can remotely crash Xitami webserver by sending simple GET

Assertion Failed!

All you need to do is just telnet to remote computer and execute
GET<space><enter><enter> command. Also Xitami will crash if you'll execute
POST<space><enter><enter> or HEAD<space><enter><enter> command.


There is another DoS in Xitami. By default installation Xitami
allows anonymous users on ftp. So connect to remote computer as
anonymous user and execute cd con/con command.

romanv () citycat ru

Tried to bring it down from a remote account which failed, got std http
error msg back.
Version Xitami 2.4d1 on Winx, set up for this one on http 8080, without
authorisation or ipmasks.

Are you sure it ain't because you used a beta version?
Or did you test some previous versions as well?
Is it in the console or the std. version?
Did you compile it yourself or did you get a precompiled version?

Questions, questions...

Cheers, Mitch.
