  - ProFTPD through 1.3.9b and 1.3.10rc2 contains an access control bypass vulnerability that allows
    authenticated FTP users to circumvent Directory ACL restrictions by prefixing paths with /proc/self/root
    in the RNFR command handler. Attackers can exploit the unresolved symlink components in
    dir_canonical_path() to cause dir_check() to perform lexical path comparisons that match no configured
    Directory block, enabling rename operations on files in DenyAll-protected directories and subsequent
    retrieval of those files. Mitigation: Sessions configured with DefaultRoot (chroot) are not affected, as
    chroot changes the directory to which /proc/self/root resolves. (CVE-2026-35025)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
