Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2011-5033

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : proftpd
Product : Fedora 13
Version : 1.3.3e
Release : 1.fc13
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 behavior of ProFTPD, but all the
needed scripts to have it run by xinetd instead are included.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update, to the current upstream maintenance release, fixes a large number of bugs (see NEWS for details), and also a couple of security issues:
* Plaintext command injection vulnerability in FTPS implementation (i.e. mod_tls). See
http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3624 for details.
* CVE-2011-1137 (badly formed SSH messages cause DoS). See
http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3586 for details.
Other highlights include:
* Display messages work properly again.
* Performance improvements, especially during server startup/restarts.
