Synopsis
Two vulnerabilities in ProFTPD might allow for SQL injection attacks.
2.
Impact Information
Background
ProFTPD is an advanced and very configurable FTP server.
Description
The following vulnerabilities were reported:
-
Percent characters in the username are not properly handled, which
introduces a single quote character during variable substitution by
mod_sql (CVE-2009-0542).
-
Some invalid, encoded multibyte characters are not properly handled in
mod_sql_mysql and mod_sql_postgres when NLS support is enabled
(CVE-2009-0543).
Impact
A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests to the server,
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SQL statements.
