Hello and thanks for your offer. Since I haven't heard back from the
Debian maintainers of proftpd I decided to backport all memory leak and
DoS fixes to the old 1.3.5 version in Jessie. I think it makes no sense
to move forward to 1.3.6 because there is already another reported issue
in #927270 which affects 1.3.6 and 1.3.5e.

So in short even if I backport the latest upstream release to Jessie and
Stretch there will be new bugs and problems depending on your setup.

I have uploaded my new version for Jessie here:

https://people.debian.org/~apo/proftpd/

I would really appreciate it if you could give these packages a try and
report back if they work for you. To the best of my knowledge this
should fix all reported memory leaks but without the regressions
reported in this bug report.

Regards,

Markus
