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
