1.213. vsftpd

An updated vsftpd package that fixes a bug is now available.

The vsftpd package includes a Very Secure FTP (File Transfer Protocol) daemon.

This updated vsftpd package fixes the following bug:

* certain vsftpd commands such as "ls" accept wildcard (globbing) characters, which allows matching multiple files with a single command. However, these commands did not "expand" any wildcard characters beyond the first one in any given string, which could have caused a failure to match certain files. With this update, vsftpd's commands which accept wildcards now expand all such characters fully, thus enabling them to match file names as expected. (BZ#544278)

All users of vsftpd are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
