------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-0613 2011-01-20 19:26:18 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
Name : proftpd Product : Fedora 13 Version : 1.3.3d Release : 1.fc13 URL : http://www.proftpd.org/ Summary : Flexible, stable and highly-configurable FTP server Description : ProFTPD is an enhanced FTP server with a focus toward simplicity, security, and ease of configuration. It features a very Apache-like configuration syntax, and a highly customizable server infrastructure, including support for multiple 'virtual' FTP servers, anonymous FTP, and permission-based directory visibility.
This package defaults to the standalone behavior of ProFTPD, but all the needed scripts to have it run by xinetd instead are included.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Update Information:
This is an update to the current upstream maintenance release, which addresses a security issue that could affect users of the mod_sql module (not enabled by default).
* A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way ProFTPD FTP server prepared SQL queries for certain usernames, when the mod_sql module was enabled. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to cause the proftpd daemon to crash or, potentially, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running 'proftpd' via a specially-crafted username, provided in the authentication dialog.
The update also fixes a CPU spike when handling .ftpaccess files, and handling of SFTP uploads when compression is used.
