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.

It also fixes some SSL shutdown issues seen with certain clients. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Jan 2 2009 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 1.3.1-8 - Update default configuration to have a lit of available modules and more example configuration for them. - Include patches to fix TLS issues (#457280). * Fri Jan 2 2009 Matthias Saou <http://freshrpms.net/> 1.3.1-7 - Add Debian patch to fix CSRF vulnerability (#464127, upstream #3115). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #464127 - CVE-2008-4242 proftpd CSRF attack https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464127 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
