CVE-2004-1602 is an observable timing discrepancy in ProFTPD 1.2.x, including 1.2.8 and 1.2.10. During username handling, the FTP service produces measurably different response times depending on whether the supplied username exists. A remote party can measure these differences to distinguish valid accounts from nonexistent accounts.
