Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54284
Category:Trustix Local Security Checks
Title:Trustix Security Advisory TSLSA-2004-0025 (libpng proftpd)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory TSLSA-2004-0025.


libpng:
Steve Grubb discovered that libpng would access memory that is out of
bounds when creating an error message. The impact of this bug is not
clear, but it could lead to a core dump in a program using libpng, or
could result in a DoS (Denial of Service) condition in a daemon that
uses libpng to process PNG images.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CVE-2004-0421 to this issue.

proftpd:
A portability workaround was applied in version 1.2.9 of the FTP
server ProFTPD. As a side-effect, CIDR based (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/NN)
ACL entries in Allow and Deny directives act like a AllowAll
directive and so FTP clients are granted access to files and
directories although the server configuration explicitly deny this
access.

This issue only affects proftpd 1.2.9, which is shipped with Trustix
Secure Linux 2.1 and Trustix Secure Enterprise Linux 2. Trustix Secure
Linux 2.0 uses proftpd 1.2.8, and is NOT affected by this issue.

Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.
