Package : globus-gridftp-server

Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2012-3292
It was discovered that the GridFTP component from the Globus Toolkit, a
toolkit used for building Grid systems and applications performed
insufficient validation of a name lookup, which could lead to privilege
escalation.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.23-1+squeeze1 of the globus-gridftp-server source package
and in version 0.43-1+squeeze1 of the globus-gridftp-server-control

this problem has been fixed in version 6.5-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your globus-gridftp-server packages.
