This is only a problem if proftpd cannot write to its scoreboard file the default configuration of proftpd in Debian is not vulnerable. A similar memory leak affects the USER command, also as reported by Wojciech Purczynski. The proftpd in Debian 2.2 is susceptible to this vulnerability a possible hacker can cause the proftpd daemon to crash by exhausting its available memory. There were some format string vulnerabilities reported by Przemyslaw Frasunek. These are not known to have exploits, but have been corrected as a precaution.
