Slackware 14.2: 2018-214-01 Critical: Lftp Remote File Integrity Issue

Dist Slackware Esm H88
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] lftp (SSA:2018-214-01) New lftp p
New lftp packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/lftp-4.8.4-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. It has been discovered that lftp up to and including version 4.8.3 does not properly sanitize remote file names, leading to a loss of integrity on the local system when reverse mirroring is used. A remote attacker may trick a user to use reverse mirroring on an attacker controlled FTP server, resulting in the removal of all files in the current working directory of the victim's system. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-10916 (* Security fix *)
