+:mod:`ftplib` no longer trusts the IP address value returned from the server
+in response to the PASV command by default. This prevents a malicious FTP
+server from using the response to probe IPv4 address and port combinations
+on the client network.
+
+Code that requires the former vulnerable behavior may set a
+``trust_server_pasv_ipv4_address`` attribute on their
+:class:`ftplib.FTP` instances to ``True`` to re-enable it.
