Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68230
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-984-1 (lftp)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to lftp
announced via advisory USN-984-1.

Details follow:

It was discovered that LFTP incorrectly filtered filenames suggested
by Content-Disposition headers. If a user or automated system were tricked
into downloading a file from a malicious site, a remote attacker could
create the file with an arbitrary name, such as a dotfile, and possibly run
arbitrary code.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
lftp 3.6.1-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 9.04:
lftp 3.7.8-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 9.10:
lftp 3.7.15-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
lftp 4.0.2-1ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: This update changes previous behaviour by ignoring the filename
supplied by servers in Content-Disposition headers. To re-enable previous
behaviour, use the new xfer:auto-rename setting.
