"An issue has been found in proftp-dfsg, a versatile, virtual-hosting
FTP daemon.

Due to incorrect handling of overly long commands, a remote
unauthenticated user could trigger a denial of service by reaching an

endless loop.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version
1.3.5e+r1.3.5-2+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your proftpd-dfsg packages.

block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues.");
