Descriptions

In ProFTPD through 1.3.8b before cec01cc, supplemental group inheritance grants unintended access to GID 0 because of the lack of supplemental groups from mod_sql.

Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, and Joerg Schwenk discovered that the transport protocol implementation in ProFTPD had weak integrity checks. An attacker could use this vulnerability to bypass security features like encryption and integrity checks. Martin Mirchev discovered that ProFTPD did not properly validate user input over the network. An attacker could use this vulnerability to crash ProFTPD or execute arbitrary code.
