although its interface is different.

No longer require spamassassin.
2.097 now randomizes boundary string to avoid (undemonstrated) security risks with boundary guessing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2011-2804
2011-03-15 17:43:24
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pure-ftpd
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 1.0.30
Release : 1.el6
URL : http://www.pureftpd.org
Summary : Lightweight, fast and secure FTP server
Description :
Pure-FTPd is a fast, production-quality, standard-comformant FTP server,
based upon Troll-FTPd. Unlike other popular FTP servers, it has no known
security flaw, it is really trivial to set up and it is especially designed
for modern Linux and FreeBSD kernels (setfsuid, sendfile, capabilities) .
Features include PAM support, IPv6, chroot()ed home directories, virtual
domains, built-in LS, anti-warez system, bandwidth throttling, FXP, bounded
ports for passive downloads, UL/DL ratios, native LDAP and SQL support,
Apache log files and more.
Rebuild switches:
--without ldap disable ldap support
--without mysql disable mysql support
--without pgsql disable postgresql support
--without extauth disable external authentication
--without tls disable SSL/TLS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Wietse Venema and Victor Duchovni discovered and reported an issue that could lead to a potential information disclosure.
An unencrypted FTP command immediately following STARTTLS request would get buffered and processed prior to SSL/TLS handshake, resulting in potential authentication bypass in case a client certificate authentication was configured to provide user identity.
A report of similar issue that was originally discovered in Postfix MTA contains further technical details and discusses possible impact: http://www.postfix.org/CVE-2011-0411.html
Users of pure-ftpd are advised to install this updated package which contains a fix for the issue.
