+ Quote from http://www.time-travellers + .org/oftpd/ +

+

+ "oftpd is designed to be as secure as an anonymous FTP server can + possibly be. It runs as non-root for most of the time, and uses the + Unix chroot() command to hide most of the systems directories from + external users - they cannot change into them even if the server is + totally compromised! It contains its own directory change code, so that + it can run efficiently as a threaded server, and its own directory + listing code (most FTP servers execute the system "ls" command to list + files)." +

+
+ +

+ Issuing a port command with a number higher than 255 causes the server + to crash. The port command may be issued before any authentication + takes place, meaning the attacker does not need to know a valid + username and password in order to exploit this vulnerability. +

+
+ +

+ This exploit causes a denial of service. +

+
+ +

+ While a workaround is not currently known for this issue, all users are + advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package. +

+
+ +

+ All users should upgrade to the current version of the affected + package: +

+ + # emerge sync + + # emerge -pv ">=net-ftp/oftpd-0.3.7" + # emerge ">=net-ftp/oftpd-0.3.7" +
