Package: proftpd-mysql

Version: 1.3.0-19

Severity: critical

 

If:

 

-SQLAuthTypes contains PlainText,

-RequireValidShell is off,

-and there is no AuthOrder mod_sql.c defined

 

then it's possible to login as a system user with password '*' or '!'

 

For example the example configuration file on proftpd's website is
vulnerable:

http://www.proftpd.org/docs/configs/mysql_simple.conf

 

I was able to download all MySQL-databases on my server, when logging in
with username 'mysql' and password '!'
