What is CVE-2010-4221?

ProFTPD, a popular FTP server software, is susceptible to multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities due to improper handling of the TELNET IAC escape character in the 'pr_netio_telnet_gets' function. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to exploit the flaws, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on affected FTP and FTPS servers. Users are advised to upgrade to version 1.3.3c or later to mitigate this risk.
