Summary

This host is running ProFTPD Server and is prone to remote SQL Injection vulnerability.

Insight

Insight

This flaw occurs because the server performs improper input sanitising, - when a %(percent) character is passed in the username, a single quote (') gets introduced during variable substitution by mod_sql and this eventually allows for an SQL injection during login. - when NLS support is enabled, a flaw in variable substitution feature in mod_sql_mysql and mod_sql_postgres may allow an attacker to bypass SQL injection protection mechanisms via invalid, encoded multibyte characters.

Affected Software

Affected Software

ProFTPD Server version 1.3.1 through 1.3.2rc2.

Solution

Solution
