Gyorgy Sarvari d691a39655 proftpd: ignore CVE-2021-47865
Details: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-47865

This CVE was opened based on a 5 years old Github issue[1], and has been made
public recently. The CVE wasn't officially disputed (yet?), but based on
the description and the given PoC the application is working as expected.

The vulnerability description and the PoC basically configures proftpd to
accept maximum x connections, and then when the user tries to open x + 1
concurrent connections, it refuses new connections over the configured limit.

See also discussion in the Github issue.

It seems that it won't be fixed, because there is nothing to fix.

meta-networking

This layer is intended to be a central point for networking-related packages and configuration. It should be useful directly on top of oe-core and compliments meta-openembedded. It should be primarily useful to the following groups:

  - Anyone building a small networking device (eg. a home router /
    bridge / switch).

  - Anyone wanting to add network services to their device (eg.
    anything that might benefit from a small ftp/tftp server)

Dependencies

This layer depends on:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core branch: Scarthgap

For some recipes, the meta-oe layer is required:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded subdirectory: meta-oe branch: Scarthgap

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded subdirectory: meta-python branch: Scarthgap
