</description>
<impact type="normal">

An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by performing a specially
crafted FTP transfer, the resulting ProFTPD transfer log could
potentially trigger the execution of arbitrary code when parsed by
GProFTPD.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All GProFTPD users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-ftp/gproftpd-8.1.9&quot;</code>
