CVE-2006-6170: ProFTPD Project ProFTPD

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 17.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Buffer overflow in the tls_x509_name_oneline function in the mod_tls module, as used in ProFTPD 1.3.0a and earlier, and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large data length argument, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-5815.

Affected products
