Slackware: 2010-357-02: proftpd Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.3d-i486-1_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes an unbounded copy operation in sql_prepare_where() that could be exploited to execute arbitrary code. However, this only affects servers that use the sql_mod module (which Slackware does not ship), and in addition the ability to exploit this depends on an SQL injection bug that was already fixed in proftpd-1.3.2rc2 (this according to upstream). So in theory, this fix should only be of academic interest. But in practice, better safe than sorry. (* 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
directly 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.
