Synopsis
ftp bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated ftp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.
Description
The ftp package provides the standard UNIX command line File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) client. FTP is a widely used protocol for transferring files over the
Internet, and for archiving files.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, using the ftp command "put" when the stack size was set
to unlimited caused the sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) function to return -1, which in
turn resulted in the malloc() function being called with an argument of 0 and
causing an "Out of memory" message to be displayed. With this update, the
underlying source code has been improved to allocate a reasonable minimum of
memory. As a result, the "Out of memory" message no longer appears if the stack
size was previously set to unlimited. (BZ#783868)
All users of ftp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
