[Scott Coil]

Package: proftpd-basic
Version: 1.3.5-1.1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

Dear Maintainer,

mod_ls.c does not properly check the bounds of the options array and cand
read into neighboring addresses. This issue has been discussed upstream
here: https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/pull/85 and has been corrected
here:
https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/commit/70c13c005c9a5080212c3c36b07b239710ef5520

Thanks!
Scott
