                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           proftpd
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:005
Date:                   January 17th, 2002
Affected versions:      7.2, 8.0, 8.1
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Matthew S. Hallacy discovered that ProFTPD was not forward resolving
 reverse-resolved hostnames. A remote attacker could exploit this to
 bypass ProFTPD access controls or have false information logged.  Frank
 Denis discovered that a remote attacker could send malicious commands
 to the ProFTPD server and it would force the process to consume all CPU
 and memory resources available to it.  This DoS vulnerability could
 bring the server down with repeated attacks.  Finally, Mattias found a
 segmentation fault problem that is considered by the developers to be
 unexploitable.
