The remote host is missing an update to proftpd announced via advisory DSA 795-2. proftpd suffers from two format string vulnerabilities. A user with the ability to create a directory could trigger the format string error, and the error is triggered if mod_sql is used to retrieve messages from a database and if format strings have been inserted into the database by a user with permission to do so

vulnerabilities. In the first, a user with the ability to create a
directory could trigger the format string error if there is a
proftpd shutdown message configured to use the %C, %R, or %U
variables. In the second, the error is triggered if mod_sql is used
to retrieve messages from a database and if format strings have been
inserted into the database by a user with permission to do so.

There was a build error for the sarge i386 proftpd packages released
in DSA 795-1. A new build, 1.2.10-15sarge1.0.1, has been prepared to
correct this error. The packages for other architectures are
unaffected.";
