high Nessus Plugin ID 35739

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Two SQL injection vulnerabilities have been found in proftpd, a virtual-hosting FTP daemon. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

 - CVE-2009-0542 Shino discovered that proftpd is prone to a SQL injection vulnerability via the use of certain characters in the username.

 - CVE-2009-0543 TJ Saunders discovered that proftpd is prone to a SQL injection vulnerability due to insufficient escaping mechanisms, when multybite character encodings are used.

Solution

Upgrade the proftpd-dfsg package.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.1-17lenny1.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems will be fixed soon.
