SUMMARY: Remote root compromise
DATE : 2000-06-23
AFFECTED CONECTIVA VERSIONS : servidor-1.0 3.0 4.0 4.0es 4.1 4.2
5.0
DESCRIPTION
This is a new release. Our previous -10cl release didn’t fix the
problem. wu-ftpd package version 2.6.0 and below has a buffer
overflow that can be remotely exploited and give an attacker root
privileges on the remote machine.
SOLUTION
All users of wu-ftpd MUST upgrade immediately. The updated packages
contain a patch to fix this vulnerability. Users of “Conectiva
Linux 3.0” can use the packages supplied for “servidor-1.0”. Please
note that the -10cl packages released earlier today didn’t correct
this problem.
