used in a DoS attack, as reported by Wojciech Purczynski. A memory
leak will happen every time a SIZE command was given provided that the
scoreboard file is not writable, which is not the case in a default
Linux-Mandrake installation. A similar problem also existed with the
USER command where every time it was given the server would use more
memory. Additionally, some format string vulnerabilities were reported
by Przemyslaw Frasunek which have also been fixed."

in Debian 2.2 (potato) :

  - There is a memory leak in the SIZE command which can
    result in a denial of service, as reported by Wojciech
    Purczynski. This is only a problem if proftpd cannot
    write to its scoreboard file; the default configuration
    of proftpd in Debian is not vulnerable.
  - A similar memory leak affects the USER command, also as
    reported by Wojciech Purczynski. The proftpd in Debian
    2.2 is susceptible to this vulnerability; an attacker
    can cause the proftpd daemon to crash by exhausting its
    available memory.

  - There were some format string vulnerabilities reported
    by Przemyslaw Frasunek. These are not known to have
    exploits, but have been corrected as a precaution."
