Title:
  proftpd mod_copy issue (CVE-2015-3306)

Status in Proftpd Dfsg:
  Fix Released
Status in proftpd-dfsg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The CVE-2015-3306 problem is arround for some time now and is not fixed in 12.04 and 14.04 LTS versions.
  http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2015/CVE-2015-3306.html

  I also tested it with telnet.
  I can copy files without any authentication if mod_copy is enabled (mod_copy is per default enabled!)
  The module is very usefull. I would be happy if I can re enable it on my servers.

  Debian and other distributions have already fix this in their systems.

  https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2015-3306
  https://www.debian.org/security/2015/dsa-3263

  Is there a special reason why this still not fixed on the LTS versions
  of Ubuntu?
