Immunix OS Security Advisory
Packages updated: wu-ftpd
Affected products: Immunix 7.0
Bugs fixed: immunix/1861
Date: Wed Nov 28 2001
Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-036-01
Author: Seth Arnold <sarnold@wirex.com>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
CORE Security Technologies has found an heap overflow problem in
wu-ftpd, related to the internal globbing functions. Because this is a
heap overflow, StackGuard does not prevent any possible exploits from
working.
Thomas Biege from SuSE has also discovered several format-string
problems that may or may not be remotely exploitable; these problems
were also found independently by someone else, who sadly is unknown to
WireX.
The wu-ftpd packages provided here fix these problems, as well as
other lesser problems.
