The atomic packages are not affected by this vulnerability as they are not built with CPTO support. I havent had the opportunity to confirm this on the default plesk packages as of yet. The following is a method to determine of your proftp install does support this:


1) connect to the server

2) Authentication is not required, but it doesnt hurt

3)run the command:
site cpfr /etc/passwd

a vulnerable version will return something like
"350 File or directory exists, ready for destination name"

otherwise a version that does not support mod_copy will return:

500 'SITE CPFR' not understood

Some posts on the Odin forums indicate the stock version is not vulnerable. But I have not tested personally.

The Plesk stock version of psa-proftpd is not vulnerable indeed.
