proftpd exploit??

[Andres Herrera <aherrerm@escomposlinux.org>]

Hi!!

I have Potato in a machine, with 

ii  proftpd        1.2.0pre10-2.0 Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon

It's the last version in security.debian.org

I've tried to exploit it by login and sending:

ls ../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../

and suddenly it began eating memory and getting slow all the system.

When I killed proftpd, system was almost KO.

Any solution??

Thanks in advance :-)
