Background
gFTP is a GNOME based, multi-threaded file transfer client.
Description
gFTP lacks input validation of filenames received by remote servers.
Impact
An attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious FTP server and conduct a directory traversal attack by making use of specially crafted filenames. This could lead to arbitrary files being created or overwritten.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All gFTP users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-ftp/gftp-2.0.18-r1"
| OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gentoo | any | all | net-ftp/gftp | < 2.0.18-r1 | UNKNOWN |
