Solution:
The ProFTPD Project Team reports that all source distributions have been replaced with patched versions. These can be downloaded at:
ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/
Exploitation can be mitigated by denying write access for all but trusted users. Futhermore, the setting "RootRevoke" can be used, though this may impact functionality.
