Debian Security Advisory DSA 2767-1 for proftpd-dfsg - denial of service. It affects proftpd-dfsg on Debian Linux. Upgrade your proftpd-dfsg packages to the fixed versions. Kingcope discovered that the mod_sftp and mod_sftp_pam modules of proftpd are not properly validating input, before making pool allocations. An attacker can use this flaw to conduct denial of service attacks
