Detail

In Debian Security Advisory DSA 029-1 we have reported several vulnerabilities in proftpd that have been fixed. For details please read the main advisory. This upload fixes:

1. A memory leak which can result in a denial of service, as reported by Wojciech Purczynski. The default configuration of proftpd in Debian is not vulnerable.

2. A similar memory leak affects the USER command, also as reported by Wojciech Purczynski.

3. Format string vulnerabilities reported by Przemyslaw Frasunek.

The most recent advisory covering proftpd missed one architecture that was released with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2. Therefore this advisory is only an addition to DSA 029-1 and only adds the relevant package for the Motorola 680x0 architecture.

We recommend you upgrade your sudo packages for m68k immediately.

wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
