Fedora 8 : proftpd-1.3.1-8.fc8 (2009-0195)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 35393

Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes a security issue where an attacker could conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and execute arbitrary FTP commands. It also fixes some SSL shutdown issues seen with certain clients.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected proftpd package.
