Gentoo: GLSA 200611-05 High: Netkit FTP Server Privilege Escalation

An incorrect seteuid() call could allow an FTP user to access some files or directories that would normally be inaccessible.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200611-05 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: High Title: Netkit FTP Server: Privilege escalation Date: November 10, 2006 Bugs: #150292 ID: 200611-05 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======= An incorrect seteuid() call could allow an FTP user to access some files or directories that would normally be inaccessible. Background ========= net-ftp/ftpd is the Linux Netkit FTP server with optional SSL support. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-ftp/ftpd < 0.17-r4 > = 0.17-r4 Description ========== Paul Szabo reported that an incorrect seteuid() call after the chdir() function can allow an attacker to access a normally forbidden directory, in some very particular circumstances, for example when the NFS-hosted targetted directory is not reachable by the client-side root user. Additionally, some potentially exploitable unchecked setuid() calls were also fixed. Impact ===== A local attacker might craft his home directory to gain access through ftpd to normally forbidden directories like /root, possibly with writing permissions if seteuid() fails and if the ftpd configuration allows that. The unchecked setuid() calls could also lead to a root FTP login, depending on the FTP server configuration. Workaround ========= There is no known workaroundat this time. Resolution ========= All Netkit FTP Server users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =net-ftp/ftpd-0.17-r4" References ========= [ 1 ] CVE-2006-5778 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2006-5778 Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200611-05 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
