Debian DLA-1873-1 : proftpd-dfsg security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 127482

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Tobias Maedel discovered that the mod_copy module of ProFTPD, a FTP/SFTP/FTPS server, performed incomplete permission validation for the CPFR/CPTO commands.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.5e+r1.3.5-2+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your proftpd-dfsg packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
