Background ========== oftpd is a small, anonymous only ftp daemon. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-ftp/oftpd < 0.3.7-r3 >= 0.3.7-r3 Description =========== By specifying an unsupported address family in the arguments to a LPRT or LPASV command, an assertion in oftpd will cause the daemon to abort. Impact ====== Remote, unauthenticated attackers may be able to terminate any oftpd process, denying service to legitimate users. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All oftpd users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-ftp/oftpd-0.3.7-r3" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-6767 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-6767 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200701-09.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
