--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : proftpd
Product : Fedora EPEL 7
Version : 1.3.5e
Release : 2.el7
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:
Current upstream maintenance release for the 1.3.5 series. Includes fix for
CVE-2017-7418, where not all path elements were checked for symlinks when using
a chroot, so attackers with local access could bypass the AllowChrootSymlinks
control by replacing a path component (other than the last one) with a symbolic
link.
