-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-055-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman May 8, 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : gftp Problem type : printf format attack Debian-specific: no The gftp package as distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has a problem in its logging code: it logged data received from the network but it did not protect itself from printf format attacks. An attacker can use this by making a FTP server return special responses that exploit this. This has been fixed in version 2.0.6a-3.1, and we recommend that you upgrade your gftp package. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato - --------------------------------- Potato was released for alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc and sparc.
