"According to the versions of the proftpd package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by
the following vulnerabilities :

    ProFTPD mod_sftp contains a heap-based buffer overflow reachable by an authenticated SFTP user. The
    fxp_packet_read() function accepts the attacker-supplied 32-bit big-endian SFTP packet length without a
    minimum sanity check. A value of 0 causes an unsigned subtraction elsewhere in the read path to underflow
    to approximately 4 GB. That oversized request reaches the core memory allocator, where the rounded size is
    computed in size_t but passed to new_block() as a 32-bit int; the low 32 bits of 0x100000000 are 0, so
    new_block() returns a small (~512-byte) block while the caller is told it received ~4 GB. The subsequent
    fill loop then streams attacker-controlled bytes past the end of the 544-byte allocation, producing an
    attacker-controlled heap buffer overflow. An authenticated user can crash the per-connection ProFTPD
    session child on demand with a single malformed SFTP packet (packet_len=0 followed by a body greater than
    approximately 544 bytes), producing reliable authenticated remote denial of service. Depending on heap
    layout and adjacent allocations, heap metadata corruption and further consequences beyond denial of
    service may be possible, though only denial of service is demonstrated by the supplied proof of
    concept.(CVE-2026-53994)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS proftpd security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
