Name : proftpd
Product : Fedora 14
Version : 1.3.3g
Release : 1.fc14
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 (and final) release for the 1.3.3 maintenance branch, includes a pair of security fixes:
* Enable OpenSSL countermeasure against SSLv3/TLSv1 BEAST attacks (upstream bug 3704); to disable this countermeasure, which may cause interoperability issues with some clients, use the NoEmptyFragments TLSOption
* Response pool use-after-free memory corruption error (upstream bug 3711, #752812, ZDI-CAN-1420), in which a remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted request (resulting in a need for the server to handle an exceptional condition), leading to memory corruption and potentially arbitrary code execution, with the privileges of the user running the proftpd server
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:

- ProFTPD with mod_sql_mysql dies of "Alarm clock" on FreeBSD (bug 3702)

to disable this countermeasure, which may cause interoperability issues
with some clients, use the NoEmptyFragments TLSOption
