(GProFTPD: gprostats format string vulnerability)
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has
identified a format string vulnerability in the gprostats utility.
Impact
An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by performing a
specially crafted FTP transfer, the resulting ProFTPD transfer log
could potentially trigger the execution of arbitrary code when parsed
by GProFTPD.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Solution:
All GProFTPD users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-ftp/gproftpd-8.1.9"
Risk factor : Medium
