Bug Fixes

BZ#1063401

Prior to this update, the "local_max_rate" option did not work as expected. As a consequence, the transmission speed was significantly lower. This update extends the types of variables for calculating and accumulating the amount of transferred data and postpones the start of evaluation after the tenth evaluation.

BZ#1092877

Previously, vsftpd server could not handle the use of "pam_exec.so" in the "pam.d" configuration file. Consequently, the vsftpd server considered new processes created by the "pam_exe.so" module to be its own and therefore attempted to catch them. When the processes were caught by "pam_exec.so", the vsftpd server became unresponsive. A patch has been applied to fix this bug, and the vsftpd server no longer hangs in the described situation.
