userlist_deny This option is examined if userlist_enable is activated. If you set this setting to NO, then users will be denied login unless they are explicitly listed in the file specified by userlist_file. When login is denied, the denial is issued before the user is asked for a password.

If a user tries to log in using a name in this file, they will be denied before they are asked for a password. - Yeah, that is the problem. The user can now see that the username is not valid. We really need an option here to prompt for password before failing. -- You received this bug

Ok, ignore the wording of the advisory. The bug is as I described. If userlist_enable=YES then vsftpd does not ask for a password if an invalid username is entered (and therefore it is disclosed that the username is not valid). I will check the value of local_enabled, when I return to my computer

Is your userlist_deny=NO/YES set. Could this be missing or commented out in your configuration? Also, is your local_enable= variable set? The security advisory only addresses disclosure of valid users and does not allow password-less logins. I am sure a patched security update will be provided
