Debian Security Advisory DSA 084-1                     security@debian.org

Package        : gftp

Vulnerability  : Information Retrieval

Problem-Type   : local unauthorized Information Retrieval

Debian-specific: no



Stephane Gaudreault told us that version 2.0.6a of gftp displays the

password in plain text on the screen within the log window when it is

logging into an ftp server.  A malicious collegue who is watching the

screen could gain access to the users shell on the remote machine.



This problem has been fixed by the Security Team in version 2.0.6a-3.2

for the stable Debian GNU/Linux 2.2.



We recommend that you upgrade your gftp package.



wget url

	will fetch the file for you

dpkg -i file.deb

        will install the referenced file.



If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for

sources.list as given below:



apt-get update

        will update the internal database

apt-get upgrade

        will install corrected packages



You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the

footer to the proper configuration.
