Proftpd · Proftpd · CVE-2005-4816
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ProFTPD versions prior to 1.3.0rc2
**Description**
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the mod radius module, which can be triggered by remote attackers using a long password. This can cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash, and potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.3.0rc2, update to version 1.3.0rc2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the mod radius module to minimize the risk of exploitation.
