Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.67743
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2010:0585
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2010:0585.

LFTP is a sophisticated file transfer program for the FTP and HTTP
protocols. Like Bash, it has job control and uses the Readline library for
input. It has bookmarks, built-in mirroring, and can transfer several files
in parallel. It is designed with reliability in mind.

It was discovered that lftp trusted the file name provided in the
Content-Disposition HTTP header. A malicious HTTP server could use this
flaw to write or overwrite files in the current working directory of a
victim running lftp, by sending a different file from what the victim
requested. (CVE-2010-2251)

To correct this flaw, the following changes were made to lftp: the
xfer:clobber option now defaults to no, causing lftp to not overwrite
existing files, and a new option, xfer:auto-rename, which defaults to
no, has been introduced to control whether lftp should use
server-suggested file names. Refer to the Settings section of the lftp(1)
manual page for additional details on changing lftp settings.

All lftp users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch to correct this issue.

Solution:
Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
