----------------------------------------------------------------------- Immunix OS Security Advisory Packages updated: wu-ftpd Affected products: Immunix 7.0 Bugs fixed: immunix/1865 Date: Thu Nov 29 2001 Advisory ID: IMNX-2001-70-036-02 Author: Seth Arnold <sarnoldat_private> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This is a re-release of wu-ftpd. New patches are available today that fix several format string problems, believed to be not exploitable. There is also a null-pointer dereference check added in several places, also believed to be not exploitable. As such, we believe this to be a reliability update only in comparison to the update in advisory IMNX-2001-70-036-01 -- however, the bug in yesterday's advisory was at one time believed to be not exploitable as well. As such, installing this update is a good idea, but not critical at this point. It cannot be stressed enough that at least one of IMNX-2001-70-036-01 or IMNX-2001-70-036-02 must be applied quickly; it is rumored this flaw is being actively exploited.
