Rating: low
References: #1012814 #1024961

    Description:


    This update for vsftpd provides the following fix:

    - Fix interoperability with ftp clients when vsftpd is configured with
    option "use_localtime=YES" (bsc#1024961)
    - Enable ECDH based perfect forward secrecy in the SSL mode and use the
    "DEFAULT" openssl cipher list as default instead of 3DES.


    This update also provides a new vsftpd-openssl1 package in the SECURITY
    Module, to offer TLS 1.2 support, which can be installed additionaly.

    If you are using vsftpd started from sysvinit, the sysvinit init script
    will select the TLS 1.2 version automatically when the package is
    installed.

    If you are using vsftpd started from the XINETD service file, please
    change the "server" value in the /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd file from
    /usr/sbin/vsftpd to /opt/suse/sbin/vsftpd.
