An update that has four fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for vsftpd fixes the following issues:

  • Add 'rsa_cert_file' and 'dsa_cert_file' options to config file template to make the user aware that either one of those options need to be configured, otherwise vsftpd won't start up if SSL mode is enabled (bsc#975538)
  • Bugfix: Don't start/stop parameterized systemd units in pre/post actions. These units cannot be used without an explicit parameter and attempts to do so lead to a confusing "failed to try-restart" error message. (bsc#1093179, bsc#1010177)
  • man page: Added description for 'address_space_limit' option (bsc#1075060)
