Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2007-11-19

Details

Updated vsftpd packages that fix several bugs are now available.

The vsftpd packages include a very secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
daemon.

These updated packages fix the following bugs:

* the FTP "append" command did not work. Instead of appending to a
specified file, a new destination file is created. In these updated
packages the "append" command works as expected.

* FTP log in attempts to the vsftpd server frequently fail with a "500
OOPS: cannot open config file:[configuration file]" error, where
"[configuration file]" is the path to your configuration file, even though
the configuration file is correct.

All users of vsftpd should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.


Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
