The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201908-16 (ProFTPD: Remote code execution)
It was discovered that ProFTPD’s “mod_copy” module does not properly restrict privileges for anonymous users.
Impact :
A remote attacker, by anonymously uploading a malicious file, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition or disclose information.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
