Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Buffer overflow in the tlsx509nameoneline function in the modtls module, as used in ProFTPD 1.3.0a and earlier, and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large data length argument, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-5815.

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

DISPUTED ProFTPD 1.3.0a and earlier does not properly set the buffer size limit when CommandBufferSize is specified in the configuration file, which leads to an off-by-two buffer underflow. NOTE: in November 2006, the role of CommandBufferSize was originally associated with CVE-2006-5815, but this was an error stemming from a vague initial disclosure. NOTE: ProFTPD developers dispute this issue, saying that the relevant memory location is overwritten by assignment before further use within the affected function, so this is not a vulnerability.
