  "details": "Updated proftpd packages fix security vulnerability:\n\nPart of the SFTP handshake involves \"extensions\", which are key/value pairs,\ncomprised of strings. In SSH, strings are encoded for network transport as a\n32-bit length, followed by the bytes. The mod_sftp module currently places no\nbounds/length limitations when reading these SFTP extension key/value data from\nthe network. A malicious attacker might attempt to encode large values, and\nallocate more memory than is necessary, causing excessive resource usage or the\nFTP daemon to crash (proftpd#4210).\n\nThis update also includes a fix for a crash in mod_lang (proftpd#4206).\n",
