Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: ProFTPD versions 1.3.0a and earlier

Description: The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the tls x509 name oneline function within the mod tls module. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by providing a large data length argument. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely and may lead to disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.

Recommendations: For ProFTPD versions 1.3.0a and earlier, consider disabling the mod tls module as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the tls x509 name oneline function to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
