Description Paweł Hajdan, Jr. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-03-05 15:03:21 UTC
An integer overflow flaw was reported [1],[2] in the mod_sftp module of
ProFTPD.  If a specially crafted SSH message was sent to a ProFTPD server using
mod_sftp, it could lead to the allocation of enormous amounts of memory and an
eventual OOM termination by the kernel.  This issue was assigned the name
CVE-2011-1137 [3].  It was fixed in CVS [4],[5],[6]
