Summary
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200711-01 https://security.gentoo.org/
Severity: Normal Title: gFTP: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: November 01, 2007 Bugs: #188252 ID: 200711-01
Synopsis ======= Two buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been discovered in fsplib code used in gFTP.
Background ========= gFTP is an FTP client for the GNOME desktop environment.
Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-ftp/gftp < 2.0.18-r6 >= 2.0.18-r6
========== Kalle Olavi Niemitalo discovered two boundary errors in fsplib code included in gFTP when processing overly long directory or file names.
Impact ===== A remote attacker could trigger these vulnerabilities by enticing a user to download a file with a specially crafted directory or file name, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2007-3962) or a Denial of Service (CVE-2007-3961).
Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ========= All gFTP users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-ftp/gftp-2.0.18-r6"
