Package: proftpd Vulnerability: proftpd running as root, /var symlink removal Debian-specific: yes
This is an update to the DSA-032-1 advisory. The powerpc package
that was listed in that advisory was unfortunately compiled on the
wrong system which caused it to not work on a Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
system.
A fixed package with version 1.2.0pre10-2.0potato1.1 has been
installed on security.debian.org.
For information on the fixed vulnerabilities please see the
DSA-032-1 advisory.
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.
