The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200611-26 (ProFTPD: Remote execution of arbitrary code)

Evgeny Legerov discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the     s_replace() function in support.c, as well as a buffer overflow in in     the mod_tls module. Additionally, an off-by-two error related to the     CommandBufferSize configuration directive was reported.

Impact :

An authenticated attacker could exploit the s_replace() vulnerability     by uploading a crafted .message file or sending specially crafted     commands to the server, possibly resulting in the execution of     arbitrary code with the rights of the user running ProFTPD. An     unauthenticated attacker could send specially crafted data to the     server with mod_tls enabled which could result in the execution of     arbitrary code with the rights of the user running ProFTPD. Finally,     the off-by-two error related to the CommandBufferSize configuration     directive was fixed - exploitability of this error is disputed. Note     that the default configuration on Gentoo is to run ProFTPD as an     unprivileged user, and has mod_tls disabled.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
