Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
Kalle Olavi Niemitalo discovered two boundary errors in fsplib code |
41 |
included in gFTP when processing overly long directory or file names. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
A remote attacker could trigger these vulnerabilities by enticing a |
47 |
user to download a file with a specially crafted directory or file |
48 |
name, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code |
49 |
(CVE-2007-3962) or a Denial of Service (CVE-2007-3961). |
50 |
|
51 |
Workaround |
52 |
========== |
53 |
|
54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
55 |
|
56 |
Resolution |
57 |
========== |
58 |
|
59 |
All gFTP users should upgrade to the latest version: |
60 |
|
61 |
# emerge --sync |
62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-ftp/gftp-2.0.18-r6" |
