Detail

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in proftpd:

Integer overflow in kbdint.c in mod_sftp in ProFTPD 1.3.4d and 1.3.5r3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large response count value in an authentication request, which triggers a large memory allocation (CVE-2013-4359).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
