- The major fix in this release is to address the problems referred to in CERT
- Advisory CA-99-03-FTP-Buffer-Overflows. This involved fixes to the real_path
- subroutine as well as changes in the size of the buffers used when calling
- this routine.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Some changes were made to address some problem compiling on Digital Unix
- that were provided by Reiner Dassing. As I have no access to this operating
- system, I can't be sure they do anything useful, but they are there none
- the less.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Jeff Laing provide a fix to help address a precedence problem involving the
- PORT command.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- o fixed a memory allocation/free problem in acl.o
- o fixed some remaining problems in the proctitle subroutines
- o fixed some documentation problems in the manual pages
- o fixed an off-by-one problem in ftpcount.c
