-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2001.501 -- RHSA-2001:157-06 Updated wu-ftpd packages are available 28 November 2001 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: wu-ftpd Vendor: Red Hat Operating System: Red Hat Linux Linux UNIX Impact: Root Compromise Access Required: Remote Ref: ESB-2000.152 - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat, Inc. Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated wu-ftpd packages are available Advisory ID: RHSA-2001:157-06 Issue date: 2001-11-20 Updated on: 2001-11-26 Product: Red Hat Linux Keywords: wu-ftpd buffer overrun glob ftpglob Cross references: Obsoletes: RHSA-2000:039 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Topic: Updated wu-ftpd packages are available to fix an overflowable buffer. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Linux 6.2 - alpha, i386, sparc Red Hat Linux 7.0 - alpha, i386 Red Hat Linux 7.1 - alpha, i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386 3. Problem description: An overflowable buffer exists in earlier versions of wu-ftpd. An attacker could gain access to the machine by sending malicious commands. It is recommended that all users of wu-ftpd upgrade to the lastest version. 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 Red Hat Network. Many people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. 5.
