ProFTPD Access Control List bypass vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200405-09 (ProFTPD Access Control List bypass vulnerability) ProFTPD 1.2.9 introduced a vulnerability that permits CIDR-based ACLs (such as 10.0.0.1/24) to be bypassed. The CIDR ACLs are disregarded, with the net effect being similar to an "AllowAll" directive. Impact This vulnerability may permit unauthorized files, including critical system files to be downloaded and/or modified, thereby permiting a potential remote compromise of the server. Workaround Users may work around the problem by avoiding use of CIDR-based ACLs.
