Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: proftpd
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:041
Date: April 30th, 2004
Affected versions: 10.0
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A portability workaround that was applied in version 1.2.9 of the
ProFTPD FTP server caused CIDR based ACL entries in "Allow" and "Deny"
directives to act like an "AllowAll" directive. This granted FTP
clients access to files and directories that the server configuration
may have been explicitly denying.
This problem only exists in version 1.2.9 and has been fixed upstream.
A patch has been applied to correct the problem.
