CVE-2001-0136 describes a memory leak vulnerability in ProFTPd version 1.2.0rc2, affecting various distributions including Conectiva, Debian, and Mandrakesoft. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger a denial of service by repeatedly sending USER commands, and potentially SIZE commands if the server is misconfigured. With a CVSS score of 5.0 (Medium), exploitation is low complexity and does not require authentication, leading to a partial availability impact. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit modules, several ExploitDB entries exist detailing denial-of-service exploits for this specific ProFTPd version, though community discussion and media coverage are absent.
