Red Hat, Inc. Security Advisory
Synopsis: Security problems in WU-FTPD
Advisory ID: RHSA-1999:043-01
Issue date: 1999-10-21
Updated on:
Keywords: wu-ftp security remote exploit
Cross references:
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Various computer security groups have reported security problems in the
WU-FTPD daemon, the FTP server shipped with all versions of Red Hat Linux.
2. Problem description:
Three vulnerabilities have been identified in WU-FTPD and other ftp daemons
based on the WU-FTPD source code.
Vulnerability #1: MAPPING_CHDIR Buffer Overflow
Vulnerability #2: Message File Buffer Overflow
Remote and local intruders may be able exploit these vulnerabilities to
execute arbitrary code as the user running the ftpd daemon, usually root.
Vulnerability #3: SITE NEWER Consumes Memory
Remote and local intruders who can connect to the FTP server can cause
the server to consume excessive amounts of memory, preventing normal
system operation. If intruders can create files on the system, they
may be able exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code as
the user running the ftpd daemon, usually root.
3. Bug IDs fixed (http://developer.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
N/A
4. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 4.2 for i386, alpha and sparc
Red Hat Linux 5.2 for i386, alpha and sparc
