Subject: Re: pure-ftpd STARTTLS command injection / new CVE?
CVE's rationale here is that Wietse Venema discovered a class of
implementation bugs against the same prototol - it's not a vulnerability
in the protocol itself. CVE-wise, this situation is not fundamentally
different from 20+ FTP server implementations that have had buffer
overflows in the username, or lots of web server directory traversals
through GET requests (not joking here). The original publication and CVE
usage seemed to imply that the CVE would be the same for all
implementations, but we don't do that except in really really high-volume,
low-detail situations (e.g. PROTOS SNMP 2002).
