Re: Explorer crashes when it sees this .lnk file

[pmal () SPACE GR (Panagiotis Malakoudis)]

As mentioned by Vladimir Dubrovin this was used to crash the ServU ftp
server.
I downloaded ServU 2.5e and tryied to attack the server with LIST.
I couldn't crash the server but my only my connection.
Does anyone know what version of ServU is vulnerable to his attack?
