Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68801
Category:Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2010-357-02)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'proftpd' package(s) announced via the SSA:2010-357-02 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'proftpd' package(s) announced via the SSA:2010-357-02 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
New proftpd packages are available for Slackware 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0,
13.1, and -current to fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/proftpd-1.3.3d-i486-1_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes an unbounded copy operation in sql_prepare_where() that
could be exploited to execute arbitrary code. However, this only affects
servers that use the sql_mod module (which Slackware does not ship), and
in addition the ability to exploit this depends on an SQL injection bug
that was already fixed in proftpd-1.3.2rc2 (this according to upstream).
So in theory, this fix should only be of academic interest.
But in practice, better safe than sorry.
(* Security fix *)
+--------------------------+

Affected Software/OS:
'proftpd' package(s) on Slackware 11.0, Slackware 12.0, Slackware 12.1, Slackware 12.2, Slackware 13.0, Slackware 13.1, Slackware current.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
