Title:Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2018-214-01)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'lftp' package(s) announced via the SSA:2018-214-01 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'lftp' package(s) announced via the SSA:2018-214-01 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
New lftp packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/lftp-4.8.4-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
It has been discovered that lftp up to and including version 4.8.3 does
not properly sanitize remote file names, leading to a loss of integrity
on the local system when reverse mirroring is used. A remote attacker
may trick a user to use reverse mirroring on an attacker controlled FTP
server, resulting in the removal of all files in the current working
directory of the victim's system.
