Background ========== gFTP is an FTP client for the GNOME desktop environment. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-ftp/gftp < 2.0.18-r6 >= 2.0.18-r6 Description =========== Kalle Olavi Niemitalo discovered two boundary errors in fsplib code included in gFTP when processing overly long directory or file names. Impact ====== A remote attacker could trigger these vulnerabilities by enticing a user to download a file with a specially crafted directory or file name, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2007-3962) or a Denial of Service (CVE-2007-3961). Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All gFTP users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-ftp/gftp-2.0.18-r6" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-3961 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-3961 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-3962 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-3962 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200711-01.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.
