    ProFTPD ASCII File Remote Compromise Vulnerability

    Synopsis:

    ISS X-Force has discovered a flaw in the ProFTPD Unix FTP server. ProFTPD
    is a highly configurable FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server for Unix
    that allows for per-directory access restrictions, easy configuration of
    virtual FTP servers, and support for multiple authentication mechanisms.
    A flaw exists in the ProFTPD component that handles incoming ASCII file
    transfers.

    Impact:

    An attacker capable of uploading files to the vulnerable system can
    trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code to gain complete
    control of the system. Attackers may use this vulnerability to destroy,
    steal, or manipulate data on vulnerable FTP sites.

    Affected Versions:

    ProFTPD 1.2.7
    ProFTPD 1.2.8
    ProFTPD 1.2.8rc1
    ProFTPD 1.2.8rc2
    ProFTPD 1.2.9rc1
    ProFTPD 1.2.9rc2

    Note: Versions previous to version 1.2.7 may also be vulnerable.
