Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2012-041-05)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'vsftpd' package(s) announced via the SSA:2012-041-05 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'vsftpd' package(s) announced via the SSA:2012-041-05 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New vsftpd packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, and -current to work around a vulnerability in glibc. Here are the details from the Slackware 13.37 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/vsftpd-2.3.5-i486-1_slack13.37.txz: Upgraded. Minor version bump, this also works around a hard to trigger heap overflow in glibc (glibc zoneinfo caching vuln). For there to be any possibility to trigger the glibc bug within vsftpd, the non-default option 'chroot_local_user' must be set in /etc/vsftpd.conf. Considered 1) low severity (hard to exploit) and 2) not a vsftpd bug :-) Nevertheless: (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'vsftpd' package(s) on Slackware 11.0, Slackware 12.0, Slackware 12.1, Slackware 12.2, Slackware 13.0, Slackware 13.1, Slackware 13.37, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
