                   Fedora Legacy Update Advisory

    Synopsis: Updated gftp package fixes security issue
    Advisory ID: FLSA:152908
    Issue date: 2005-07-10
    Product: Red Hat Linux, Fedora Core
    Keywords: Bugfix
    CVE Names: CAN-2005-0372
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Topic:

    Updated gftp packages that fix a security issue are now available.

    gFTP is a multi-threaded FTP client for the X Window System.

    2. Relevant releases/architectures:

    Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
    Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
    Fedora Core 1 - i386

    3. Problem description:

    A directory traversal vulnerability was discovered in gftp. A remote
    malicious FTP server could read, overwrite or create arbitrary files
    via .. (dot dot) sequences in the filenames returned from a LIST
    command. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
    (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0372 to this issue.

    Users of gftp are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which
    contain a backported patch correcting this issue.

    4. Solution:

    Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
    relevant to your system have been applied.

    To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

    rpm -Fvh [filenames]

    where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
    RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which
    are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note
    that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only*
    contains the desired RPMs.

    Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt. Many
    people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:

    yum update

    or to use apt:

    apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

    This will start an interactive process that will result in the
    appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you
    have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content.
    Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs for directions on how to
    configure yum and apt-get.
