ProFTPD before 1.3.6b and 1.3.7rc before 1.3.7rc2 allows remote unauthenticated denial-of-service due to incorrect handling of overly long commands because main.c in a child process enters an infinite loop.

Weakness

The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
