-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2020-918ad695f6 2020-09-30 00:33:20.163554 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : proftpd Product : Fedora EPEL 7 Version : 1.3.5e Release : 10.el7 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 fixes a NULL pointer dereference in SCP options processing. An authenticated remote attacker could issue invalid SCP commands, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition. Note: the sftp/scp server is not enabled by the default configuration. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
