On the first receipt, the command is handled correctly, but is left in the tmpline buffer. On the next SIGURG, the hacked-up getline() returns an empty string and that STAT request is ignored. The next one works, the one after that fails, and so on. >How-To-Repeat: Send a series of STAT requests as OOB data to an ftpd while a file transfer is in progress, and observe that you get a response to every other request. >Fix: In ftpd.c, in the myoob() routine, a line should be added in the if branch that handles the STAT command, to set tmpline[0] = '\0'; (as it already does for the ABOR command). I have applied and tested this fix on my local system, and it results in correct behavior (every STAT request receives a response). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
