Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:450
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2002:450. ProFTPD is a highly configurable FTP daemon written from scratch for Unix and Unix-like operating systems. This advisory addresses two security problems: 1. ProFTPD was not forward resolving reverse-resolved hostnames. A remote attacker could explore this vulnerability[1] to bypass ProFTPD access control lists or have false information (client hostname) logged. It was discovered by Matthew S. Hallacy . 2. A DoS vulnerability[2] was found by Frank Denis. By sending a malicious command to the server, a remote attacker could force the process to consume all CPU and memory resources available to it. Multiple attack instances could effectively bring the server down. This update also fixes a Segmentation Fault problem, found[3] by Mattias , which was further analyzed and considered by the developers as not exploitable. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2002:450 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002002 Risk factor : High
