Synopsis
vsftpd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated vsftpd package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The vsftpd package includes a Very Secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
daemon.
This updated vsftpd package fixes the following bug:
- certain vsftpd commands such as "ls" accept wildcard (globbing)
characters, which allows matching multiple files with a single command.
However, these commands did not "expand" any wildcard characters beyond the
first one in any given string, which could have caused a failure to match
certain files. With this update, vsftpd's commands which accept wildcards
now expand all such characters fully, thus enabling them to match file
names as expected. (BZ#544278)
All users of vsftpd are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
