- The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2002:005 (proftpd).
-
-
- Matthew S. Hallacy discovered that ProFTPD was not forward resolving
- reverse-resolved hostnames. A remote attacker could exploit this to bypass
- ProFTPD access controls or have false information logged. Frank Denis discovered
- that a remote attacker could send malicious commands to the ProFTPD server and
- it would force the process to consume all CPU and memory resources available to
- it. This DoS vulnerability could bring the server down with repeated attacks.
- Finally, Mattias found a segmentation fault problem that is considered by the
- developers to be unexploitable.
