A patch for OpenSSH in Ubuntu 22.04 fixes a critical buffer overflow vulnerability that could allow for unauthorized access.

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, to the current upstream stable release version, is a cumulative

bug-fix release including a security fix for a use-after-free vulnerability

(CVE-2020-9273): successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a

remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

the bundled version
