Package        : proftpd-dfsg
Version        : 1.3.5e+r1.3.5b-4+deb9u2
Debian Bug     : 968967

The update of proftpd-dfsg released as DLA-2338-1 incorrectly
destroyed the memory pool in function sftp_kex_handle in
contrib/mod_sftp/kex.c which may cause a segmentation fault and thus
prevent sftp connections.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
1.3.5e+r1.3.5b-4+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your proftpd-dfsg packages.
