The only patch debian has at that url is the one in 1.3.5e+r1.3.5-2+deb8u5 which we used for CVE-2019-19269 (mga#25844). The upstream patches do not apply to 1.3.5e and if you strip out the non-applicable parts you are left with what was already applied in 25844. Maybe debian is saying the same patch fixes both CVE-2019-19269 and CVE-2019-19270. In any case, I don't see anything further to do with this. I don't know whether this should be marked invalid or already resolved so I'll leave that up to you.
Comment 2 David Walser 2020-01-08 01:02:30 CET
Actually it looks like this issue was fixed in 1.3.5c, so this would be INVALID.

However, the previous issue (CVE-2019-19269) links to this commit:
https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/commit/be8e1687819cb665359bd62b4c896ff4b1a09c3f

which we're missing the first part of (s/subject/issuer).
Comment 3 Mike Rambo 2020-01-08 18:43:40 CET
Yes, Debian removed those parts (and I assumed it was for a reason). The 9c3f commit was for 1.3.6 which does not have the same code as 1.3.5e. That said, I made a patch which does everything that upstream did in the 9c3f commit, and it does build. But I don't know if the specific thing affected by the s/subject/issuer in proftpd works or what would happen if it didn't. I'll push another update if you think it's safe.
Comment 4 David Walser 2020-01-08 20:09:46 CET
Yeah it does look like it should be issuer, but maybe Debian did what they did for a reason.  I guess we can leave it for now.  Hopefully we can get it updated to 1.3.6 before Mageia 8.

Resolution: (none) => INVALID
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
