Hello,

A recent update for proftpd has been released which will resolve an important security issue. It's highly recommended that all admins update their systems to proftpd version 1.3.3c.
Some reading indicated to me that the issue was introduced in 1.3.2rc3 (not confirmed), so previous versions might not be affected, but upgrading anyway is still highly recommended.

Release notes on 1.3.3c:

There are a few methods to update, the simplest being custombuild:
Code:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set proftpd yes
./build proftpd

Another way is to compile from source:
