Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The issue is due to a case of missing brackets in the patch '500-ssl.diff', which causes the execution of 'fclose(NULL)' and thus displays as a segmentation fault. The error appears while transmogrifying 'linux-ftpd' into 'linux-ftpd-ssl'.

There is no CVE assigned to this issue.

The patch was created by Mats Erik Andersson.

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.
