tag_summary = "The remote Wu-FTPd server seems to be vulnerable to a remote flaw.

This version fails to properly check bounds on a pathname when Wu-Ftpd is 
compiled with MAIL_ADMIN enabled resulting in a buffer overflow. With a 
specially crafted request, an attacker can possibly execute arbitrary code 
as the user Wu-Ftpd runs as (usually root) resulting in a loss of integrity, 
and/or availability.

It should be noted that this vulnerability is not present within the default 
installation of Wu-Ftpd. 

The server must be configured using the 'MAIL_ADMIN' option to notify an 
administrator when a file has been uploaded.

*** OpenVAS solely relied on the banner of the remote server
*** to issue this warning, so it may be a false positive.";

tag_solution = "Upgrade to Wu-FTPd 2.6.3 when available";
