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 xinetd instead are included. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update addresses an issue with mod_sftp and mod_sftp_pam in which a malicious client could cause the server to make extremely large memory requests and potentially crash. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Sat Sep 14 2013 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> 1.3.4d-4 - Fix mod_sftp/mod_sftp_pam invalid pool allocation during kbdint authentication (#1007678, upstream bug #3973) * Sun Aug 4 2013 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng@lists.fedoraproject.org> 1.3.4d-2.2 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_20_Mass_Rebuild * Wed Jul 17 2013 Petr Pisar <ppisar@redhat.com> 1.3.4d-2.1 - Perl 5.18 rebuild * Mon Jun 17 2013 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> 1.3.4d-2 - Fix spurious log messages at session close (upstream bug #3945) * Sat Jun 15 2013 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> 1.3.4d-1 - Update to 1.3.4d - Fixed broken build when using --disable-ipv6 configure option - Fixed mod_sql "SQLAuthType Backend" MySQL issues - Various other bugs fixed - see NEWS for details - Drop upstreamed patch for PAM session closing * Tue Apr 16 2013 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> 1.3.4c-2 - Make sure we can switch back to root before closing PAM sessions so that they're closed properly and don't pollute the system logs with dbus reject messages (#951728, upstream bug #3929) * Thu Mar 7 2013 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> 1.3.4c-1 - Update to 1.3.4c - Added Spanish translation - Fixed several mod_sftp issues, including SFTPPassPhraseProvider, handling of symlinks for REALPATH requests, and response code logging - Fixed symlink race for creating directories when UserOwner is in effect - Increased performance of FTP directory listings - Drop MySQL password patch, no longer needed - Drop upstreamed proftpd patch for CVE-2012-6095 - Update patch for bug 3744 to apply against updated proftpd code * Thu Feb 14 2013 Fedora Release Engineering <rel-eng@lists.fedoraproject.org> 1.3.4b-6 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Mass_Rebuild * Wed Jan 16 2013 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> 1.3.4b-5 - Update patch for CVE-2012-6095 to cover vroot cases * Mon Jan 7 2013 Paul Howarth <paul@city-fan.org> 1.3.4b-4 - Fix possible symlink race when applying UserOwner to newly created directory (CVE-2012-6095, #892715, http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3841) * Sat Sep 22 2012 Remi Collet <remi@fedoraproject.org> 1.3.4b-3 - Rebuild against libmemcached.so.11 without SASL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1007679 - proftpd: mod_sftp/mod_sftp_pam invalid pool allocation during kbdint authentication [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1007679 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
