Description alli 2016-11-23 16:48:45 UTC
Description of problem:
Shipped version of pure-ftpd does not allow setting of cipher suite with the -J flag, per the changelog: https://github.com/jedisct1/pure-ftpd/blob/master/ChangeLog

This is a security issue as cipher suits need to be able to be adjusted for PCI compliance, possible future vulnerabilities, etc.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.0.42-5

How reproducible:
yum install pure-ftpd
Set the cipher suite to a custom string in /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf
systemctl start pure-ftpd
Run sslscan or similar

Actual results:
sslscan results come back with the same accepted ciphers no matter what you set TLSCipherSuite to.

Expected results:
sslscan results come back with the accepted cipher list that you set in the pure-ftpd config file.

Comment 1 alli 2017-12-05 12:00:57 UTC
To provide an update here, the version of pure-ftpd is now up to 1.0.47 and there are very serious changes that were made to the way that it handles cipher suites; also, one of the later versions disables TLSv1.0, which is useful for PCI compliance. It would be helpful to either backport the cipher suite fixes if maintaining TLSv1.0 backwards compatibility is important or update the package version on EPEL if it's not.
