[ MDVSA-2009:337 ] proftpd

[dude67]

_______________________________________________________________________

Package : proftpd
Date : December 22, 2009
Affected: 2008.0, 2009.0, 2009.1, 2010.0, Corporate 4.0,
Enterprise Server 5.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been identified and corrected in proftpd:

The TLS protocol, and the SSL protocol 3.0 and possibly earlier, as
used in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0, mod_ssl
in the Apache HTTP Server 2.2.14 and earlier, OpenSSL before 0.9.8l,
GnuTLS 2.8.5 and earlier, Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS)
3.12.4 and earlier, and other products, does not properly associate
renegotiation handshakes with an existing connection, which allows
man-in-the-middle attackers to insert data into HTTPS sessions,
and possibly other types of sessions protected by TLS or SSL, by
sending an unauthenticated request that is processed retroactively
by a server in a post-renegotiation context, related to a plaintext
injection attack, aka the Project Mogul issue (CVE-2009-3555).

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.

This update fixes this vulnerability.
