What is CVE-2006-6171?

The ProFTPD server versions up to 1.3.0a are impacted by a buffer underflow issue due to improper setting of the buffer size limit when 'CommandBufferSize' is defined in the configuration file. This could lead to unexpected behavior within the server. However, it is important to note that ProFTPD developers challenge this classification as a vulnerability, asserting that the memory location undergoes an overwrite before the function's further utilization.
