-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-15765 2011-11-11 00:55:13 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : proftpd Product : Fedora 16 Version : 1.3.4 Release : 1.fc16 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, to the current upstream stable release, includes a pair of security fixes: * Enable OpenSSL countermeasure against SSLv3/TLSv1 BEAST attacks (upstream bug 3704); to disable this countermeasure, which may cause interoperability issues with some clients, use the NoEmptyFragments TLSOption * Response pool use-after-free memory corruption error (upstream bug 3711, #752812, ZDI-CAN-1420, CVE-2011-4130), in which a remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted request (resulting in a need for the server to handle an exceptional condition), leading to memory corruption and potentially arbitrary code execution, with the privileges of the user running the proftpd server -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Nov 10 2011 Paul Howarth <[email protected]> 1.3.4-1 - Update to 1.3.4, addressing the following bugs since 1.3.4rc3: - ProFTPD with mod_sql_mysql dies of "Alarm clock" on FreeBSD (bug 3702) - mod_sql_mysql.so: undefined symbol: make_scrambled_password with MySQL 5.5 on Fedora (bug 3669) - PQescapeStringConn() needs a better check (bug 3192) - Enable OpenSSL countermeasure against SSLv3/TLSv1 BEAST attacks (bug 3704); to disable this countermeasure, which may cause interoperability issues with some clients, use the NoEmptyFragments TLSOption - Support SFTPOption for ignoring requests to modify timestamps (bug 3706) - RPM build on CentOS 5.5 (64bit): "File not found by glob" (bug 3640) - Response pool use-after-free memory corruption error (bug 3711, #752812, ZDI-CAN-1420, CVE-2011-4130) - Drop upstream patch for make_scrambled_password_323 - Use upstream SysV initscript rather than our own - Use upstream systemd service file rather than our own - Use upstream PAM configuration rather than our own - Use upstream logrotate configuration rather than our own - Use upstream tempfiles configuration rather than our own - Use upstream xinetd configuration rather than our own -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #752812 - CVE-2011-4130 proftpd: Response pool use-after-free flaw (ZDI-CAN-1420) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752812 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
