From security@wirex.com Thu Nov 29 14:52:48 2001 From: Immunix Security Team To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com, security-alerts@linuxsecurity.com, linux-security-announce@seifried.org, immunix-announce@immunix.org Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 18:01:48 -0800 Subject: Immunix OS 7.0 wu-ftpd update ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Immunix OS Security Advisory Packages updated: wu-ftpd Affected products: Immunix 7.0 Bugs fixed: immunix/1861 Date: Wed Nov 28 2001 Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-036-01 Author: Seth Arnold ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: CORE Security Technologies has found an heap overflow problem in wu-ftpd, related to the internal globbing functions. Because this is a heap overflow, StackGuard does not prevent any possible exploits from working. Thomas Biege from SuSE has also discovered several format-string problems that may or may not be remotely exploitable; these problems were also found independently by someone else, who sadly is unknown to WireX. The wu-ftpd packages provided here fix these problems, as well as other lesser problems.
