Summary
This host is running pyftpdlib FTP server and is prone to information disclosure vulnerability.
Insight
Insight
The flaw exists because pyftpdlib does not choose a random value for the port associated with the PASV command, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about the number of in-progress data connections by reading the response to this command.
Affected Software
Affected Software
ftpserver.py in pyftpdlib before 0.1.1
Solution
Solution
Upgrade to pyftpdlib version 0.5.2 or later.
