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.

This update addresses an arbitrary file copy vulnerability in mod_copy in

ProFTPD, which allowed for remote code execution and information disclosure

without authentication due to not honoring `` constraints. Upstream bug:
