--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : proftpd
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 1.3.3g
Release : 11.el6
URL :
http://www.proftpd.org/
Summary : Flexible, stable and highly-configurable FTP server
Description :
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 xinetd instead are included.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update addresses a pre-authentication remote denial of service issue
(
https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/issues/846). The fix is a backport of the
one in upstream git for current proftpd versions.
