A memory starvation denial of service vulnerability in the ls program was discovered by Georgi Guninski. It is possible to allocate a huge amount of memory by specifying certain command-line arguments. It is also possible to exploit this remotely via programs that call ls such as wu-ftpd (although wu-ftpd is no longer shipped with Mandrake Linux).

Likewise, a non-exploitable integer overflow problem was discovered in ls, which can be used to crash ls by specifying certain command-line arguments. This can also be triggered via remotely accessible services such as wu-ftpd.

The provided packages include a patched ls to fix these problems.
