Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0485)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'proftpd' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0485 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'proftpd' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0485 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated proftpd packages fix security vulnerability: Part of the SFTP handshake involves 'extensions', which are key/value pairs, comprised of strings. In SSH, strings are encoded for network transport as a 32-bit length, followed by the bytes. The mod_sftp module currently places no bounds/length limitations when reading these SFTP extension key/value data from the network. A malicious attacker might attempt to encode large values, and allocate more memory than is necessary, causing excessive resource usage or the FTP daemon to crash (proftpd#4210). This update also includes a fix for a crash in mod_lang (proftpd#4206). Affected Software/OS: 'proftpd' package(s) on Mageia 5. 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
