CVE-2008-7263 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:9.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-pyftpdlib package and not the python-pyftpdlib package as distributed by Debian.
ftpserver.py in pyftpdlib before 0.5.0 does not delay its response after receiving an invalid login attempt, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access via a brute-force attack.
