SCO Security Advisory
Subject: OpenServer 5.0.6 OpenServer 5.0.7 : wu-ftp local users
can bypass access restrictions
Advisory number: SCOSA-2005.6
Issue date: 2005 January 25
Cross reference: sr889579 fz528958 erg712568 CAN-2004-0148
______________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Description
wu-ftpd 2.6.2 and earlier, with the restricted-gid option
enabled, allows local users to bypass access restrictions
by changing the permissions to prevent access to their home
directory, which causes wu-ftpd to use the root directory
instead.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CAN-2004-0148 to this issue.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Binaries
