Bug Description
all files under /etc/proftpd have world-read permissions (644), but some files may contain sensitive password info, i.e. sql login password stored in sql.conf
fix: config files containing passwords should be 640 (or even 600) assuming root/root ownership
12.04 LTS final beta
proftpd-basic 1.3.4a-1

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Since the package referred to in this bug is in universe or multiverse, it is community maintained. If you are able, I suggest coordinating with Debian and posting a debdiff for this issue. When a debdiff is available, members of the security team will review it and publish the package.
