New proftpd packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] proftpd (SSA:2026-189-02) New proftpd packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.9c-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes bugs and security issues: ExecEnviron values not passed due to regression since 1.3.8.d. Stack buffer overflow in MLSD/MLST handling for long path names. MaxTransfersPerUser no longer enforces configured limits. AdminControlsACLs for config, get actions not honored as they should be. Memcached/Redis-cached JSON TLS session/OCSP entries decoded into fixed buffers without bounds checking. RewriteMap unescape builtin use causes one-byte out-of-bounds write, fails to reject illegal characters. SQL group name lookup concatenates client-provided group names without escaping. Authenticated SFTP sessions can overflow the SFTP packet buffer. Default Controls socket ACLs unintentionally allow all users access for sending Controls requests.
