### Background
[ProFTPD](<http://www.proftpd.org/>) is free FTP Server software for Unix and Linux platforms.
### Problem
The mod_copy extension, if enabled in ProFTPD, allows unauthenticated attackers to read and write arbitrary files using the `**SITE CPFR**` and `**SITE CPTO**` commands. This can lead to arbitrary command execution if the system also runs a web server supporting PHP.
### Resolution
[Upgrade](<ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source/>) to ProFTPD 1.3.5a or 1.3.6rc1 or higher, or install a package update from your Linux vendor.

The target must also run a web server supporting PHP in order for the exploit to succeed.
### Platforms
