Detail

Two SQL injection vulnerabilities have been found in proftpd, a virtual-hosting FTP daemon. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2009-0542

Shino discovered that proftpd is prone to an SQL injection vulnerability via the use of certain characters in the username.

CVE-2009-0543

TJ Saunders discovered that proftpd is prone to an SQL injection vulnerability due to insufficient escaping mechanisms, when multybite character encodings are used.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.1-17lenny1.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), these problems will be fixed soon.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), these problems will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your proftpd-dfsg package.

51849 ProFTPD Character Encoding SQL Injection

ProFTPD contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to an unspecified function not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the username and password parameters. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database.
