Updated proftpd packages fix security vulnerabilities Part of the SFTP handshake involves "extensions", which are key/value pairs, comprised of strings. In SSH, strings are encoded for network transport as a 32-bit length, followed by the bytes. The mod_sftp module currently places no bounds/length limitations when reading these SFTP extension key/value data from the network. A malicious attacker might attempt to encode large values, and allocate more memory than is necessary, causing excessive resource usage or the FTP daemon to crash. This update also includes a fix for a crash in mod_lang
