Description:
  As undisclosed by an exploit (vd_proftpd.pm) and a related vendor
  bugfix [0], a Denial of Sevice (DoS) vulnerability exists in the FTP
  server ProFTPD [1], up to and including version 1.3.0. The flaw is
  due to both a potential bus error and a definitive buffer overflow
  in the code which determines the FTP command buffer size limit.
  The vulnerability can be exploited only if the "CommandBufferSize"
  directive is explicitly used in the server configuration -- which
  is not the case in OpenPKG's default configuration of ProFTPD. The
  Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id
  CVE-2006-5815 [2] to the problem.
