+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team has identified a
+ format string vulnerability in the gprostats utility.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by performing a specially
+ crafted FTP transfer, the resulting ProFTPD transfer log could
+ potentially trigger the execution of arbitrary code when parsed by
+ GProFTPD.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All GProFTPD users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-ftp/gproftpd-8.1.9"</code>
