CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade pureftpd to version 1.0.30 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. The STARTTLS implementation in ftp_parser.c in Pure-FTPd before 1.0.30 does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted FTP sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a "plaintext command injection" attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411.
