Description Vincent Danen 2011-05-12 16:57:18 UTC 
Multiple libc/glob(3) flaws were reported [1] that affect various *BSD libc implementations.  In particular, globs containing braces could lead to resource exhaustion.

One such vulnerable application is Pure-FTPd.  This has been corrected in upstream version 1.0.32, where support for braces expansion in directory listings was disabled.

Fedora currently ships the fixed 1.0.32 in each supported release.

EPEL5 is not corrected (1.0.29) and EPEL6 is not corrected (1.0.30).
