| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of ProFTPD installed on the remote host is earlier than 1.3.3d. Such versions are reportedly affected by a heap based buffer overflow vulnerability in the function
'sql_prepare_where()' in the file 'contrib/mod_sql.c'. An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to exploit this in combination with an earlier SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2009-0542) to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote FTP server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
