    Summary: Updated lftp packages fix CVE-2014-0139

    Details: Updated lftp packages fix security vulnerability: lftp incorrectly validates wildcard SSL certificates containing literal IP addresses, so under certain conditions, it would allow and use a wildcard match specified in the CN field, allowing a malicious server to participate in a MITM attack or just fool users into believing that it is a legitimate site (CVE-2014-0139). lftp was affected by this issue as it uses code from cURL for checking SSL certificates. The curl package was fixed in MGASA-2014-0153.
