NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream proftpd-dfsg package and not the proftpd-dfsg package as distributed by Ubuntu.

An issue was discovered in tls_verify_crl in ProFTPD before 1.3.6. Direct dereference of a NULL pointer (a variable initialized to NULL) leads to a crash when validating the certificate of a client connecting to the server in a TLS client/server mutual-authentication setup.
