NewStart CGSL CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04 : lftp Vulnerability (NS-SA-2020-0068)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 143998

Synopsis

The remote machine is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has lftp packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

- It has been discovered that lftp up to and including version 4.8.3 does not properly sanitize remote file names, leading to a loss of integrity on the local system when reverse mirroring is used. A remote attacker may trick a user to use reverse mirroring on an attacker controlled FTP server, resulting in the removal of all files in the current working directory of the victim's system. (CVE-2018-10916)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL lftp packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
