Debian DLA-1753-3 : proftpd-dfsg regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 123834

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The update of proftpd-dfsg issued as DLA-1753-1 caused a regression when the creation of a directory failed during sftp transfer. The sftp session would be terminated instead of failing gracefully due to a non-existing debug logging function.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.5e+r1.3.5-2+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your proftpd-dfsg packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
