Subject: [SECURITY] [DSA-016-3] Correction: New version of wu-ftpd
released
Debian Security Advisory DSA-016-3 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
January 24, 2001
Package : wu-ftpd
Vulnerability : temp file creation and format string
Debian-specific: no
Security people at WireX have noticed a temp file creation bug and
the WU-FTPD development team has found a possible format string bug
in wu-ftpd. Both could be remotely exploited, though no such
exploit exists currently.
This additional advisory only announces a recompile of the
package for the Intel ia32 architecture. The upload from yesterday
was lacking PAM support. This only required a recompile and
contains no other fixes. (Sorry, but when I make a mistake, I have
to make it real, this time it’s the correct file).
For upgrading please use
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
Or use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer
to the proper configuration.
