+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A buffer overflow vulnerability has been found in the
+ linux-ftpd-ssl package. A command that generates an excessively long
+ response from the server may overrun a stack buffer.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker that has permission to create directories that are
+ accessible via the FTP server could exploit this vulnerability.
+ Successful exploitation would execute arbitrary code on the local
+ machine with root privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All ftpd users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-ftp/netkit-ftpd-0.17-r3"</code>
