Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.0a-i486-1_slack11.0.tgz:
  Upgraded to proftpd-1.3.0a plus an additional security patch.  Several
  security issues were found in proftpd that could lead to the execution of
  arbitrary code by a remote attacker, including one in mod_tls that does
  not require the attacker to be authenticated first.
  For more information, see:

HINT:  Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try.  This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project!  :-)
