Debian DSA-416-1 : fsp - buffer overflow, directory traversal

high Nessus Plugin ID 15253

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

A vulnerability was discovered in fsp, client utilities for File Service Protocol (FSP), whereby a remote user could both escape from the FSP root directory ( CAN-2003-1022), and also overflow a fixed-length buffer to execute arbitrary code ( CAN-2004-0011).

Solution

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.81.b3-3.1woody1.

We recommend that you update your fsp package.
