DESCRIPTION:
Two buffer overflow problems have been found in lftp, a multithreaded command-line based FTP client. A specially created directory on a web server could be used to execute arbitrary code on the connecting machine. The user's machine has to connect to a malicious web server using HTTP or HTTPS, then issue an "ls" or "rels" command.
Please see < for more details on this problem.
SOLUTION:
All machines which have net-ftp/lftp installed should be updated to use version 2.6.10 or higher using these commands:
emerge sync emerge -pv '>=net-ftp/lftp-2.6.10' emerge '>=net-ftp/lftp-2.6.10' emerge clean
