CVE-2004-2089
Matrix FTP Server allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by logging in using four spaces as the username and password and then issuing a LIST command.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.84%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
