The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'wu-ftpd' package(s) announced via the DSA-457 advisory. Two vulnerabilities were discovered in wu-ftpd: users could bypass directory access restrictions by changing permissions on their home directory, and a buffer overflow existed in wu-ftpd's code for S/key authentication. For Debian 3.0, the problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2-3woody4

CAN-2004-0148

Glenn Stewart discovered that users could bypass the directory access restrictions imposed by the restricted-gid option by changing the permissions on their home directory. On a subsequent login, when access to the user's home directory was denied, wu-ftpd would fall back to the root directory.

CAN-2004-0185

A buffer overflow existed in wu-ftpd's code which deals with S/key authentication.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2-3woody4.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2-17.1.

We recommend that you update your wu-ftpd package.");
