Description:
LSS Security Team has reported a weakness in ProFTPD, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to determine valid usernames.
The problem is that there is a time delay difference in the login process for existing and non-existing usernames. This can be exploited to determine valid user accounts and potentially their privileges by sending some "USER" commands and calculating the response period.
The weakness has been reported in version 1.2.x. Other versions may also be affected.
