Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52881
Category:Turbolinux Local Security Tests
Title:Turbolinux TLSA-2004-8 (wu-ftpd)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to wu-ftpd
announced via advisory TLSA-2004-8.

Wu-ftpd is the daemon (background) program which serves FTP files to ftp clients.

- wu-ftpd 2.6.2 and earlier, with the restricted-gid option enabled,
allows local users to bypass access restrictions by changing the permissions
to prevent access to their home directory, which causes wu-ftpd to use the root directory instead.
- Buffer overflow in the skey_challenge function in ftpd.c for wu-ftp daemon (wu-ftpd) 2.6.2
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code
via a s/key (SKEY) request with a long name.

The ftp users may be able to read the file which cannot be read.
The vulnerabilities allow an attacker can cause to denial of service of the wu-ftpd.

Solution: Please use the turbopkg (zabom) tool to apply the update.
