-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2009-0195 2009-01-07 06:47:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : proftpd Product : Fedora 8 Version : 1.3.1 Release : 8.fc8 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 behaviour of ProFTPD, but all the needed scripts to have it run by xinetd instead are included. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes a security issue where an attacker could conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and execute arbitrary FTP commands.
