Slackware 1129 Published by

New lftp packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue



Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/lftp-4.8.4-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
It has been discovered that lftp up to and including version 4.8.3 does
not properly sanitize remote file names, leading to a loss of integrity
on the local system when reverse mirroring is used. A remote attacker
may trick a user to use reverse mirroring on an attacker controlled FTP
server, resulting in the removal of all files in the current working
directory of the victim's system.
For more information, see:

(* Security fix *)
