  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Security Issue in Proftpd in Plesk?

We would also be VERY interested if our Plesk Servers are vulnerable to this Security Issue ... and if yes - when a patch will be available (as this Bug is exploited in the wild)
thx

@furureweb:
I know for sure that Version 1.35 of the Proftpd Server (current Stable Version) is NOT Secured as Heise Online (A Big German Security Protal) has announced.
Anway you can Download a Patch fix from the Github of Proftpd here: https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/commit/35b65aaf7219be474f621a874ec77c85d9ec794d.patch
But you have to Compile it by yourselfe.

Currently i dont know if the Patch Fix provided on Github is working with the Plesk proftpd, since the Plesk proftpd is not 100% the Original Verison you can download from the Homepage of proftpd (its adapted to the Plesk System).
So i would NOT RECCOMEND it to download and try the fix on a live System, since as i said im not sure if it is compatible with the Plesk proftpd Version
 
According to my tests - it seems that Plesk proftpd is NOT vulnerable at all ...

Code:
[root@server etc]# telnet localhost 21
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 ProFTPD 1.3.5 Server (ProFTPD) [::1]
site cpfr /etc/passwd
500 'SITE CPFR' not understood

Which makes sense --> proftpd -vv doesn't show mod_copy module loaded ... so I guess we are safe ... ;-)
