|
<p>
|
|
The glFTPd server is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the 'dupescan'
|
|
program. This vulnerability is due to an unsafe strcpy() call which can
|
|
cause the program to crash when a large argument is passed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local user with malicious intent can pass a parameter to the dupescan
|
|
program that exceeds the size of the buffer, causing it to overflow. This
|
|
can lead the program to crash, and potentially allow arbitrary code
|
|
execution with the permissions of the user running glFTPd, which could be
|
|
the root user.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All glFTPd users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=net-ftp/glftpd-1.32-r1"
|
|
# emerge ">=net-ftp/glftpd-1.32-r1"</code>
