Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0115)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'proftpd' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0115 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'proftpd' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0115 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: ProFTPD before 1.3.5e controls whether the home directory of a user could contain a symbolic link through the AllowChrootSymlinks configuration option, but checks only the last path component when enforcing AllowChrootSymlinks. Attackers with local access could bypass the AllowChrootSymlinks control by replacing a path component (other than the last one) with a symbolic link. The threat model includes an attacker who is not granted full filesystem access by a hosting provider, but can reconfigure the home directory of an FTP user (CVE-2017-7418). Affected Software/OS: 'proftpd' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 2.1 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N
