Synopsis ========
A remotely-exploitable overflow exists in oftpd, allowing an attacker to crash the oftpd daemon.
Background ==========
Quote from http://www.time-travellers.org/oftpd/
"oftpd is designed to be as secure as an anonymous FTP server can possibly be. It runs as non-root for most of the time, and uses the Unix chroot() command to hide most of the systems directories from external users - they cannot change into them even if the server is totally compromised! It contains its own directory change code, so that it can run efficiently as a threaded server, and its own directory listing code (most FTP servers execute the system "ls" command to list files)."
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- net-ftp/oftpd <= 0.3.6 >= 0.3.7
Description ===========
Issuing a port command with a number higher than 255 causes the server to crash. The port command may be issued before any authentication takes place, meaning the attacker does not need to know a valid username and password in order to exploit this vulnerability.
Impact ======
This exploit causes a denial of service.
Workaround ==========
While a workaround is not currently known for this issue, all users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of the affected package.
Resolution ==========
All users should upgrade to the current version of the affected package:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=net-ftp/oftpd-0.3.7" # emerge ">=net-ftp/oftpd-0.3.7"

Concerns? =========
Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us. Any security concerns should be addressed to security@gentoo.org or alternatively, you may file a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org.
