    (* Security fix *)
  • patches/packages/vsftpd-2.3.5-i486-1_slack12.0.tgz
    Minor version bump, this also works around a hard to trigger heap overflow
    in glibc (glibc zoneinfo caching vuln). For there to be any possibility
    to trigger the glibc bug within vsftpd, the non-default option
    “chroot_local_user” must be set in /etc/vsftpd.conf.
    Considered 1) low severity (hard to exploit) and 2) not a vsftpd bug :-)
    Nevertheless:
