Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:095-1 (proftpd)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to proftpd announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:095-1. A vulnerability was discovered by X-Force Research at ISS in ProFTPD's handling of ASCII translation. An attacker, by downloading a carefully crafted file, can remotely exploit this bug to create a root shell. The ProFTPD team encourages all users to upgrade to version 1.2.7 or higher. The problematic code first appeared in ProFTPD 1.2.7rc1, and the provided packages are all patched by the ProFTPD team to protect against this vulnerability. Update: The previous update had a bug where the new packages would terminate with a SIGNAL 11 when the command NLST -alL was performed in certain cases, such as if the size of the output of the command was greater than 1024 bytes. These updated packages have a fix applied to prevent this crash. Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2003:095-1 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0831 http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/alerts/id/154 http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2194 Risk factor : Critical CVSS Score: 9.0
