Fedora 26: proftpd Security Update
Summary
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 systemd instead are included.
Current upstream maintenance release for the 1.3.5 series. Includes fix for
CVE-2017-7418, where not all path elements were checked for symlinks when using
a chroot, so attackers with local access could bypass the AllowChrootSymlinks
control by replacing a path component (other than the last one) with a symbolic
link.
