Package: pure-ftpd-postgresql
Version: 1.0.50-2.1+b2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
We are re-installing a new machine to replace our previous FTP server by
installing the mentioned package.
We have configured the server by copying the same parameters we have on the
previous machine, but when we test the connectivity, we observe that:
* There is no connection to PostgreSQL to verify the credentials.
* The client's connection is terminated by directly closing the socket.
The error log shows the following message:
Dec 16 09:51:01 application pure-ftpd[696673]: (?@151.51.150.195) [INFO] New
connection from 151.51.150.195

Dec 16 09:51:02 application kernel: pure-ftpd-postg[696673]: segfault at 1538
ip 7efceb2f0618 sp 7ffed80aec58 error 4 in
libc.so.6[7efceb1af000+155000] likely on CPU 31 (core 1, socket 1)
indicating that there is a segmentation fault within the code of the package.
The situation is well described in this link:
https://superuser.com/questions/1800870/why-is-pure-ftpd-postgresql-not-connecting-to-my-postgresql-database
Continuing the research, it seems to be a problem caused by an error in
PureFTPd 1.0.50, which also occurred in FreeBSD (the error was identical, with
the same segmentation fault):
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=261358
The developer has provided the patch to fix the issue:
https://bz-attachments.freebsd.org/attachment.cgi?id=231197
Without fixing the problem, it is not possible to use the package. In previous
Debian releases, the issue was not present because the PureFTPd version was not
1.0.50.
It is not possible to use PostgreSQL connection with PureFTPd with Bookworm
release. I assume that by applying the mentioned patch, the package will start
working as required.
