Subject Name:            ProFPTD
Subject Summary:         Professional FTP Daemon
Subject Home:            http://www.proftpd.org/
Subject Versions:        * <= 1.3.0rc1

Vulnerability Id:        CVE-2005-2390
Vulnerability Scope:     global (not OpenPKG specific)

Attack Feasibility:      run-time
Attack Vector:           remote network
Attack Impact:           denial of service

Description:
    It was reported that ProFTPd [1] version before 1.3.0rc2 suffer from
    two format string vulnerabilities. In the first, a user with the
    ability to create a directory could trigger the format string error
    if there is a ProFTPd shutdown message configured to use the "%C",
    "%R", or "%U" variables. In the second, the error is triggered if the
    ProFTPd extension mod_sql is used to retrieve messages from a database
    and if format strings have been inserted into the database by a user
    with permission to do so.
