  - Race condition in the FTPHandler class in ftpserver.py in pyftpdlib before 0.5.2 allows remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (daemon outage) by establishing and then immediately closing a TCP
    connection, leading to the accept function having an unexpected value of None for the address, or an
    ECONNABORTED, EAGAIN, or EWOULDBLOCK error, a related issue to CVE-2010-3492. (CVE-2010-3494)
