-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 457-1 [e-mail:security@debian.org] http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman March 8th, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : wu-ftpd Vulnerability : several Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0148 CAN-2004-0185

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in wu-ftpd:

CAN-2004-0148 - Glenn Stewart discovered that users could bypass the directory access restrictions imposed by the restricted-gid option by changing the permissions on their home directory. On a subsequent login, when access to the user's home directory was denied, wu-ftpd would fall back to the root directory.

CAN-2004-0185 - A buffer overflow existed in wu-ftpd's code which deals with S/key authentication.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2-3woody4.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2-17.1.

We recommend that you update your wu-ftpd package.
