Slackware Security[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.
(* Security fix *)
