0001946: CVE-2006-5815: remote code execution in ProFTPD
Copied from www.proftpd.org:

On 6 November 2006, Evgeny Legerov <admin@gleg.net> posted to BUGTRAQ[1],
announcing his commercial VulnDisco Pack for Metasploit 2.7[2]. One of the
included exploits, vd_proftpd.pm, takes advantage of an off-by-one string
manipulation flaw in ProFTPD\'s sreplace() function to allow a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary code.

This vulnerabillity, identified as CVE-2006-5815[3], is believed to affect
all versions of ProFTPD up to and including 1.3.0, but exploitability has
only been demonstrated with version 1.3.0rc3. The demonstrated exploit
relies on write access via FTP for exploitability, but other attack vectors
may make exploitation of a read-only FTP server possible.

This vulnerability has been patched[4] in the latest release of ProFTPD,
1.3.0a, which is available from the ProFTPD web site,
http://www.proftpd.org/. [^] Mitigation techniques have also been developed for
use until a patched version can be installed.
