Synopsis
=======
Version 1.2.9 of ProFTPD introduced a vulnerability that causes CIDR-based Access Control Lists (ACLs) to be treated as "AllowAll", thereby allowing remote users full access to files available to the FTP daemon.
Background
=========
ProFTPD is an FTP daemon.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-ftp/proftpd == 1.2.9-r1 >= 1.2.9-r2
1 net-ftp/proftpd == 1.2.9 >= 1.2.9-r2
Description
==========
ProFTPD 1.2.9 introduced a vulnerability that allows CIDR-based ACLs (such as 10.0.0.1/24) to be bypassed. The CIDR ACLs are disregarded, with the net effect being similar to an "AllowAll" directive.
Impact
=====
This vulnerability may allow unauthorized files, including critical system files to be downloaded and/or modified, thereby allowing a potential remote compromise of the server.
Workaround
=========
Users may work around the problem by avoiding use of CIDR-based ACLs.
Resolution
=========
ProFTPD users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest version of the package:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=net-ftp/proftpd-1.2.9-r2"
# emerge ">=net-ftp/proftpd-1.2.9-r2"
