4.323. tftp

Bug Fixes

BZ#871059

Previously, the command line width in the ftp client was limited to 200 characters. With this update, the maximum possible length of the FTP command line is extended to 4296 characters.

BZ#871071

Prior to this update, "append", "put", and "send" commands were causing system memory to leak. The memory holding the ftp command was not freed appropriately. With this update, the underlying source code has been improved to correctly free the system resources and the memory leaks are no longer present.

BZ#871546

Previously, if a macro longer than 200 characters was defined and then used after a connection, the ftp client crashed due to a buffer overflow. With this update, the underlying source code was updated and the buffer that holds memory for the macro name was extended. It now matches the length of the command line limit mentioned above. As a result, the ftp client no longer crashes when a macro with a long name is executed.

BZ#655830

When the small files were transferred and the "-v" option was enabled, the tftp client printed incorrect statistics about the transfer. This update fixes printing of the transfer statistics.

BZ#714240

The tftpd daemon did not correctly handle the utimeout option value. If a client specified a utimeout value within the permitted range, it caused the tftpd process to crash. This crash only affected the current tftp request.
