What is CVE-2019-19270?

A vulnerability in the ProFTPD server's TLS implementation allows for improper processing of Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). Specifically, the function responsible for verifying CRLs fails to adequately check the necessary fields, mistakenly verifying revocation status based solely on the subject of the certificate. As a result, clients with revoked certificates may be permitted to establish connections with the server, potentially exposing sensitive data and compromising server integrity.
