Synopsis :

Description :

The remote host is using ProFTPD, a free FTP server for Unix and
Linux.

According to its banner, the version of ProFTPD installed on the
remote host suffers from multiple format string vulnerabilities, one
involving the 'ftpshut' utility and the other in mod_sql's
'SQLShowInfo' directive. Exploitation of either requires involvement
on the part of a site administrator and can lead to information
disclosure, denial of service, and even a compromise of the affected
system.
