PACKAGE   : proftpd

DESCRIPTION
 ProFTPD is a highly configurable FTP daemon written from scratch for
 Unix and Unix-like operating systems.
 
 This advisory addresses two security problems:
 
 1. ProFTPD was not forward resolving reverse-resolved hostnames. A
 remote attacker could explore this vulnerability[1] to bypass ProFTPD
 access control lists or have false information (client hostname)
 logged. It was discovered by Matthew S. Hallacy
 <[email protected]>.
 
 2. A DoS vulnerability[2] was found by Frank Denis. By sending a
 malicious command to the server, a remote attacker could force the
 process to consume all CPU and memory resources available to it.
 Multiple attack instances could effectively bring the server down.
 
 This update also fixes a Segmentation Fault problem, found[3] by
 Mattias <[email protected]>, which was further analyzed and
 considered by the developers as not exploitable.


SOLUTION
 As a workaround[4] for the second vulnerability, you can add a
 DenyFilter for "\*.*/" in the ProFTPD config file, which will catch
 most of the attack attempts.
 
 Although there is an effective workaround for the DoS vulnerability,
 it's recomended that all proftpd users do the upgrade. Notice that if
 you are running the ProFTPD server as a standalone process (not using
 inetd, which is the default configuration), you have to restart the
 server manually after the upgrade. Also, it's advised to restart the
 active connections in order to let a new server instance to be
 loaded.
