15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 Two vulnerabilities in ProFTPD might allow for SQL injection attacks.
19
20 Background
21 ==========
22
23 ProFTPD is an advanced and very configurable FTP server.
24
25 Affected packages
26 =================
27
28 -------------------------------------------------------------------
29 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
30 -------------------------------------------------------------------
31 1 net-ftp/proftpd < 1.3.2 >= 1.3.2
32
33 Description
34 ===========
35
36 The following vulnerabilities were reported:
37
38 * Percent characters in the username are not properly handled, which
39 introduces a single quote character during variable substitution by
40 mod_sql (CVE-2009-0542).
41
42 * Some invalid, encoded multibyte characters are not properly handled
43 in mod_sql_mysql and mod_sql_postgres when NLS support is enabled
44 (CVE-2009-0543).
45
46 Impact
47 ======
48
49 A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests to the server,
50 possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SQL statements.
51
52 Workaround
53 ==========
54
55 There is no known workaround at this time.
56
57 Resolution
58 ==========
59
60 All ProFTPD users should upgrade to the latest version:
61
62 # emerge --sync
63 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-ftp/proftpd-1.3.2"
