============================================================================

Vendor URL: http://www.fastream.com/

Delphis Consulting Internet Security Team (DCIST) discovered the following
vulnerability in FUR HTTP Server under Windows NT.

Severity: medium

It is possible to cause FUR Http server crash with a invalid procedure call.

This is done by connecting to port 80 upon which FUR listens on and sending

3k of DATA as a GET string. This will cause the HTTP server to crash.

II. Solution
============================================================================

Vendor Status: Informed

Currently there is no know solution to this problem. Delphis Internet
Security team would advise users of this product to perform one of two
actions.

a) Restrict the IP addresses which are able to connect to your machine by
 the use of a Firewall, Router ACL or Microsoft TCP/IP advanced settings.

b) Use another vendors HTTP daemon as a temporary measure until this has
been
 resolved.
