Top Forums Programming vsftpd fatal flaw - can C help Post 302071351 by jim mcnamara on Saturday 15th of April 2006 10:26:04 PM

Instead of changing vsftpd, change what you are doing slightly.

sFTP the files into /tmp or some other location, then once the file has arrived
Code:
mv /tmp/file /dest/file

vsftp is open source. That means if you have to have it changed:
1. you will have to make code changes for every new release. What if there is a security hole found?
2. you get to support any changes you make that cause problems.

I'd leave it alone and change what you're doing i.e., get another sftp or find a simple workaround.

CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_OPTIONS(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options				      CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_OPTIONS(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_OPTIONS - set proxy SSL behavior options SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_OPTIONS, long bitmask); DESCRIPTION
Pass a long with a bitmask to tell libcurl about specific SSL behaviors. CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST tells libcurl to not attempt to use any workarounds for a security flaw in the SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocols. If this option isn't used or this bit is set to 0, the SSL layer libcurl uses may use a work-around for this flaw although it might cause interop- erability problems with some (older) SSL implementations. WARNING: avoiding this work-around lessens the security, and by setting this option to 1 you ask for exactly that. This option is only supported for DarwinSSL, NSS and OpenSSL. CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE tells libcurl to disable certificate revocation checks for those SSL backends where such behavior is present. Cur- rently this option is only supported for WinSSL (the native Windows SSL library), with an exception in the case of Windows' Untrusted Pub- lishers blacklist which it seems can't be bypassed. This option may have broader support to accommodate other SSL backends in the future. https://curl.haxx.se/docs/ssl-compared.html DEFAULT
