Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

An uninitialized pointer vulnerability was discovered in pure-ftpd, a secure and efficient FTP server, which could result in an out-of-bounds memory read and potential information disclosure.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.36-3.2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pure-ftpd packages.
