[EN] vsftpd and seccomp bug

[jaegermeister]

Hello,

this morning I was going to lazy upload some files to my workstation through anonymous ftp (with vsftpd running on it) and when issuing

Code: [Select]


put <file>


I got the following error:

Code: [Select]


500: priv_sock_get_cmd


I save you all the searches and the stress, the bug was present in vsftpd version 3.0.0 and related to running it on kernels above 3.5.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845980

The point is that, THIS MORNING, I was running vsftpd 3.0.2 from sid and kernel 3.6-5.... so what? In oder to get the whole stuff working I still had to use the workaround described in the former link.

Can you reproduce the problem?
