Name : proftpd
Product : Fedora 10
Version : 1.3.1
Release : 8.fc10
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 behaviour of ProFTPD, but all the
needed scripts to have it run by xinetd instead are included.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This update fixes a security issue where an attacker could conduct cross-site
request forgery (CSRF) attacks and execute arbitrary FTP commands. It also fixes
some SSL shutdown issues seen with certain clients.
