DSA-057-1 gftp Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The gftp package as distributed with Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has a problem in its logging code: it logged data received from the network but it did not protect itself from printf format attacks. A possible hacker can use this by making an FTP server return special responses that exploit this. This has been fixed in version 2.0.6a-3.1, and we recommend that you upgrade your gftp package. Note: this advisory was posted as DSA-055-1 by mistake.
