It appears that this problem was originally publicized on December 23,
1999.  It was reported by USSR to Bugtraq and NTBugtraq in a post
titled "Local / Remote GET Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in ZBServer
1.5" (CVE: CVE-2000-0002).  USSR was unable to get a response from the
vendor.

devix posted a followup stating that the vendor had been notified
about the problem in 1997.

Dark Spyrit later posted an exploit to Bugtraq which appears to
execute arbitrary code, not just cause a DoS.

A search for "ZBServer" on various well-known vulnerability
repositories produced the following references (note: URLs may be

A search for "ZBServer" on both AltaVista and Google includes
references to the Bugtraq posts on the first page.
