A short list of problems: * user input was used in snprintf() without sufficient checks * there was an overflow in the log_xfer() routine * you could overflow a buffer by using very long pathnames Please not that this is not meant to be an exhaustive list. In addition to the security fixes a couple of Y2K problems were also fixed. We have made a new package with version 1.2.0pre9-4 to address these issues, and we recommend to upgrade your proftpd package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 alias slink - -------------------------------- This version of Debian was released only for Intel, the Motorola 680x0, the alpha and the Sun sparc architecture.
