   An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

Description:

   This update for uftpd fixes the following issues:

   uftpd was updated to version 2.12.

   Changes:

   * Use common log message format and log level when user enters an invalid
     path. This unfortunately affects changes introduced in v2.11 to increase
     logging at default log level.

   Security fixes:

   - CVE-2020-14149: When entering an invalid directory with the FTP command
     CWD, a NULL ptr was deref. in a DBG() message even though the log level
     is set to a value lower than LOG_DEBUG. This caused uftpd to crash and
     cause denial of service. Depending on the init/inetd system used this
     could be permanent. (boo#1172959)
