+ <p>
+ ProFTPD is a powerful, configurable, and free FTP daemon.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A flaw exists in the mod_ctrls module of ProFTPD, normally used to
+ allow FTP server administrators to configure the daemon at runtime.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An FTP server administrator permitted to interact with mod_ctrls could
+ potentially compromise the ProFTPD process and execute arbitrary code
+ with the privileges of the FTP Daemon, which is normally the root user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Disable mod_ctrls, or ensure only trusted users can access this
+ feature.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All ProFTPD users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-ftp/proftpd-1.3.1_rc1"</code>
