high Nessus Plugin ID 27611

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200711-01 (gFTP: Multiple vulnerabilities)

 Kalle Olavi Niemitalo discovered two boundary errors in fsplib code included in gFTP when processing overly long directory or file names.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could trigger these vulnerabilities by enticing a user to download a file with a specially crafted directory or file name, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2007-3962) or a Denial of Service (CVE-2007-3961).
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All gFTP users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-ftp/gftp-2.0.18-r6'
