Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50521
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:041 (proftpd)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to proftpd
announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:041.

A portability workaround that was applied in version 1.2.9 of the
ProFTPD FTP server caused CIDR based ACL entries in Allow and Deny
directives to act like an AllowAll directive. This granted FTP
clients access to files and directories that the server configuration
may have been explicitly denying.

This problem only exists in version 1.2.9 and has been fixed upstream.
A patch has been applied to correct the problem.

Affected versions: 10.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
