Description

Security update for proftpd This update for proftpd fixes the following issues: * GeoIP has been discontinued by Maxmind (boo#1156210) This update removes module build for geoip see https://support.maxmind.com/geolite-legacy-discontinuation-notice/ - CVE-2019-19269: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference may occur when validating the certificate of a client connecting to the server (boo#1157803) - CVE-2019-19270: Fixed a Failure to check for the appropriate field of a CRL entry prevents some valid CRLs from being taken into account (boo#1157798) - CVE-2019-18217: Fixed remote unauthenticated denial-of-service due to incorrect handling of overly long commands (boo#1154600 gh#846) Update to 1.3.6b * Fixed pre-authentication remote denial-of-service issue (Issue #846). * Backported fix for building mod_sql_mysql using MySQL 8 (Issue #824). Update to 1.3.6a: * Fixed symlink navigation (Bug#4332). * Fixed building of mod_sftp using OpenSSL 1.1.x releases (Issue#674). * Fixed SITE COPY honoring of <Limit> restrictions (Bug#4372). * Fixed segfault on login when using mod_sftp + mod_sftp_pam (Issue#656). * Fixed restarts when using mod_facl as a static module * Add missing Requires(pre): group(ftp) for Leap 15 and Tumbleweed (boo#1155834) * Add missing Requires(pre): user(ftp) for Leap 15 and Tumbleweed (boo#1155834) * Use pam_keyinit.so (boo#1144056) - Reduce hard dependency on systemd to only that which is necessary for building and installation. update to 1.3.6: * Support for using Redis for caching, logging; see the doc/howto/Redis.html documentation. * Fixed mod_sql_postgres SSL support (Issue #415). * Support building against LibreSSL instead of OpenSSL (Issue #361). * Better support on AIX for login restraictions (Bug #4285). * TimeoutLogin (and other timeouts) were not working properly for SFTP connections (Bug#4299). * Handling of the SIGILL and SIGINT signals, by the daemon process, now causes the child processes to be terminated as well (Issue #461). * RPM .spec file naming changed to conform to Fedora guidelines. * Fix for 'AllowChrootSymlinks off' checking each component for symlinks (CVE-2017-7418). New Modules: * mod_redis, mod_tls_redis, mod_wrap2_redis With Redis now supported as a caching mechanism, similar to Memcache, there are now Redis-using modules: mod_redis (for configuring the Redis connection information), mod_tls_redis (for caching SSL sessions and OCSP information using Redis), and mod_wrap2_redis (for using ACLs stored in Redis). Changed Modules: * mod_ban: The mod_ban module's BanCache directive can now use Redis-based caching; see doc/contrib/mod_ban.html#BanCache. -New Configuration Directives * SQLPasswordArgon2, SQLPasswordScrypt The key lengths for Argon2 and Scrypt-based passwords are now configurable via these new directives; previously, the key length had been hardcoded to be 32 bytes, which is not interoperable with all other implementations (Issue #454). Changed Configuration Directives * AllowChrootSymlinks When 'AllowChrootSymlinks off' was used, only the last portion of the DefaultRoot path would be checked to see if it was a symlink. Now, each component of the DefaultRoot path will be checked to see if it is a symlink when 'AllowChrootSymlinks off' is used. * Include The Include directive can now be used within a <Limit> section, e.g.: <Limit LOGIN> Include /path/to/allowed.txt DenyAll </Limit> API Changes * A new JSON API has been added, for use by third-party modules.
