Last modified Jun 16, 2026

CVE-2009-5010 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Race condition in the FTPHandler class in ftpserver.py in pyftpdlib before 0.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon outage) by establishing and then immediately closing a TCP connection, leading to the accept function having an unexpected return value of None, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3494.. EPSS estimates a 1.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
