please update from 0.3.4-1 to 0.3.4-1.1 from Debian (unstable)

[David Sugar]

Binary package hint: bareftp

There is a local exploit identified as release critical from Debian based on overriding LD_LIBRARY_PATH (http://bugs.debian.org/598284). We do not carry any patch for this package, and the only change from -1 to -1.1 is explicitly for this vulnerability. 0.3.4-1.1 does build on Maverick.

Upgrade, fresh-install works fine. Application works after the upgrade/fresh-install without problems. (Sorry for the logs being in german)

Actually diff between 0.3.4-1 and 0.3.4-1.1ubuntu0.1

[Clint Byrum (clint-fewbar)]

So, this looks like it is only for maverick, and I've nominated it as such.

Tested building in a maverick-amd64 chroot, works.

Just one nit pick, the line says

    make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH is always set to bareftp' standard library path

looks like its missing an s, should be

    make sure LD_LIBRARY_PATH is always set to bareftp's standard library path

In addition to the grammar error, the version is incorrect and the changelog does not follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Packaging. In the interest of time, I will fix this up and upload.

Natty has 0.3.7-1, which is not affected.
