Check for the version of the krb5 package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2003:021 (krb5). A vulnerability was discovered in the Kerberos FTP client. When the client retrieves a file that has a filename beginning with a pipe character, the FTP client will pass that filename to the command shell in a system() call. This could permit a malicious remote FTP server to write to files outside of the current directory or even execute arbitrary commands as the user using the FTP client.
