RHBA-2012:0001 - vsftpd bug fix update
Synopsis
vsftpd bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated vsftpd package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The vsftpd package includes a Very Secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol) daemon.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The vsftpd daemon sets a value of the RLIMIT_AS variable during its initialization phase. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1, the RLIMIT_AS value (100 MB) became insufficient which restricted LDAP users from authentication to the system using vsftpd. With this update, the initial RLIMIT_AS value has been increased to 200 MB, and vsftpd now can be used for LDAP authentication as expected. (BZ#767108)
All users of vsftpd are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
