Slackware: 2006-335-02: proftpd Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.0a-i486-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to proftpd-1.3.0a plus an additional security patch. Several security issues were found in proftpd that could lead to the execution of arbitrary code by a remote attacker, including one in mod_tls that does not require the attacker to be authenticated first. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-5815 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6170 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6171 (* Security fix *)
Where Find New Packages
HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(https://osuosl.org/) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://www.slackware.com/ for
additional mirror sites near you.
