| Detailed Description |
According to its banner, the version of ProFTPD installed on the remote host is earlier than 1.3.3g or 1.3.4. As such, it is potentially affected by a code execution vulnerability due to how the server manages the response pool that is used to send responses from the server to the client. A remote, authenticated attacker could could leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the user running the affected application.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote FTP server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
