Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Security Features (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3125)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The mod_tls module in ProFTPD before 1.3.5b and 1.3.6 before 1.3.6rc2 does not properly handle the TLSDHParamFile directive, which might cause a weaker than intended Diffie-Hellman (DH) key to be used and consequently allow attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors.


2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-6095)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

ProFTPD before 1.3.5rc1, when using the UserOwner directive, allows local users to modify the ownership of arbitrary files via a race condition and a symlink attack on the (1) MKD or (2) XMKD commands.
