==========================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-984-1         September 07, 2010
lftp vulnerability
CVE-2010-2251
==========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 9.04
Ubuntu 9.10
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
  lftp                            3.6.1-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 9.04:
  lftp                            3.7.8-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 9.10:
  lftp                            3.7.15-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
  lftp                            4.0.2-1ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: This update changes previous behaviour by ignoring the filename
supplied by servers in Content-Disposition headers. To re-enable previous
behaviour, use the new xfer:auto-rename setting.

Details follow:

It was discovered that LFTP incorrectly filtered filenames suggested
by Content-Disposition headers. If a user or automated system were tricked
into downloading a file from a malicious site, a remote attacker could
create the file with an arbitrary name, such as a dotfile, and possibly run
arbitrary code.
