--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Name        : proftpd

Product     : Fedora 26

Version     : 1.3.5e

Release     : 1.fc26

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 systemd instead are included.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Update Information:



Current upstream maintenance release for the 1.3.5 series.  Includes fix for

CVE-2017-7418, where not all path elements were checked for symlinks when
 using

a chroot, so attackers with local access could bypass the AllowChrootSymlinks

control by replacing a path component (other than the last one) with a
 symbolic

link.
