Debian: New proftpd packages fix format string vulnerability
Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 795-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Michael Stone September 1st, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : proftpd Vulnerability : potential code execution Problem-Type : format string error Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CAN-2005-2390 infamous42md reported that proftpd suffers from two format string vulnerabilities. In the first, a user with the ability to create a directory could trigger the format string error if there is a proftpd shutdown message configured to use the "%C", "%R", or "%U" variables. In the second, the error is triggered if mod_sql is used to retrieve messages from a database and if format strings have been inserted into the database by a user with permission to do so. The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by these vulnerabilities. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.10-15sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.10-20. We recommend that you upgrade your proftpd package.
