Summary

The remote host is missing an update to lftp announced via advisory DSA 406-1.

Insight

Insight

Ulf Harnhammar discovered a buffer overflow in lftp, a set of sophisticated command-line FTP/HTTP client programs. An attacker could create a carefully crafted directory on a website so that the execution of an 'ls' or 'rels' command would lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the client machine. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.9-1woody2. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.6.10-1.
