Debian Security Advisory DSA 705-1 securitydebian.org

Package : wu-ftpd
Vulnerability : missing input sanitising
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CAN-2005-0256 CAN-2003-0854

Several denial of service conditions have been discovered in wu-ftpd,
the popular FTP daemon. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:

CAN-2005-0256

    Adam Zabrocki discovered a denial of service condition in wu-ftpd
    that could be exploited by a remote user and cause the server to
    slow down the server by resource exhaustion.

CAN-2003-0854

    Georgi Guninski discovered that /bin/ls may be called from within
    wu-ftpd in a way that will result in large memory consumption and
    hence slow down the server.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.6.2-3woody5.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.6.2-19.

We recommend that you upgrade your wu-ftpd package.

Upgrade Instructions
