-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] proftpd (SSA:2006-335-02) New proftpd packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and 11.0 to fix security issues. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5815 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6170 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6171 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: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5815 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6170 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6171 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ 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! :-) Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for additional mirror sites near you.
