[slackware-security]  proftpd (SSA:2026-189-02)

New proftpd packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.9c-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes bugs and security issues:
  ExecEnviron values not passed due to regression since 1.3.8.d.
  Stack buffer overflow in MLSD/MLST handling for long path names.
  MaxTransfersPerUser no longer enforces configured limits.
  AdminControlsACLs for config, get actions not honored as they should be.
  Memcached/Redis-cached JSON TLS session/OCSP entries decoded into fixed
  buffers without bounds checking.
  RewriteMap unescape builtin use causes one-byte out-of-bounds write,
  fails to reject illegal characters.
  SQL group name lookup concatenates client-provided group names without
  escaping.
  Authenticated SFTP sessions can overflow the SFTP packet buffer.
  Default Controls socket ACLs unintentionally allow all users access for
  sending Controls requests.
  (* Security fix *)
