Debdiff for Natty, according to DSA-2346-1 this is only for CVE-2011-4130 because mod_tls buffer bug has been applied in debian/patches/3624.

Debdiff for maverick, also added patches from DebianBug #648922 to prevent regression. See also DSA 2346-2

Thanks for the debdiffs! Your changelog entry and patch name references 'CVE-2011-041'. This is an invalid CVE identifier. From what I can tell from the history in the Debian squeeze package, you meant to reference CVE-2011-0411. Can you confirm this? If so, the debdiffs should be updated to not call this issue by that CVE name, since it is for postfix. Instead, say it is 'similar to CVE-2011-0411' in the changelog and DEP-3 comments (and rename the patch).

Also, CVE-2010-4652 and CVE-2011-1137 are also open for lucid and maverick (patches are available in the Debian squeeze packaging). Can you update your debdiffs to include the fixes for these issues as well?

Thanks again!

Also, it looks like Oneiric may also be affected. Can you verify?

Has there been any progress on getting this fix out? I'm asking because it *is* a security issue, and there hasn't been any reported progress for almost 3 months. This vulnerability is showing up in a PCI compliance scan for one of my servers running Lucid.

proftpd-dfsg is supported by the community, so somebody needs to step up and provide debdiffs to fix the issue.

If nobody is interested in doing the work, then there is no progress and proftpd-dfsg will likely remain vulnerable.
