 Package : proftpd-dfsg CVE ID : CVE-2024-48651 Debian Bug : 1082326

 Brian Ristuccia discovered that in ProFTPD, a powerful modular FTP/SFTP/FTPS server, supplemental group inheritance grants unintended access to GID 0 because of the lack of supplemental groups from mod_sql.

 For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.8+dfsg-4+deb12u4.

 We recommend that you upgrade your proftpd-dfsg packages.

 For the detailed security status of proftpd-dfsg please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/proftpd-dfsg
