The mod_tls module in ProFTPD before 1.3.5b and 1.3.6 before 1.3.6rc2 does not properly handle the TLSDHParamFile directive, which might cause a weaker than intended Diffie-Hellman (DH) key to be used and consequently allow attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors.

CVE-2016-3125 proftpd: usage of 1024 bit DH key even with manual parameters set
The ProFTPD daemon supports TLS encrypted connections via the mod_tls module. This module has a configuration option TLSDHParamFile to specify user-defined Diffie Hellman parameters.
A vulnerability was found in ProFTPD before 1.3.5b. The software would ignore the user-defined parameters and use Diffie Hellman key exchanges with 1024 bit
