• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 7.0% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2016-04-05 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-254

Description

The mod_tls module in ProFTPD before 1.3.5b and 1.3.6 before 1.3.6rc2 does not properly handle the TLSDHParamFile directive, which might cause a weaker than intended Diffie-Hellman (DH) key to be used and consequently allow attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors.

Affected products

• Fedoraproject Fedora: 22, 23
• Opensuse: 13.1
• ProFTPD: through 1.3.5; 1.3.6-rc1
