MGASA-2021-0434 - Updated proftpd packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 23 Sep 2021
URL: https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2021-0434.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 8

Fixes memory disclosure to RADIUS servers by mod_radius.

Ftp clients like filezilla fail to detect locale with in log :
"Status: Server does not support non-ASCII characters."

This comes from proftpd MultilineRFC2228 directive enabled by default.

Without this directive  Filezilla is able to enable utf8 options
correctly.

Fixed by disabling MultilineRFC2228 directive.
