Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Two vulnerabilities in ProFTPD might allow for SQL injection attacks.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
ProFTPD is an advanced and very configurable FTP server.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-ftp/proftpd < 1.3.2 >=3D 1.3.2
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
The following vulnerabilities were reported:
* Percent characters in the username are not properly handled, which
introduces a single quote character during variable substitution by
mod_sql (CVE-2009-0542).
* Some invalid, encoded multibyte characters are not properly handled
in mod_sql_mysql and mod_sql_postgres when NLS support is enabled
(CVE-2009-0543).
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker could send specially crafted requests to the server,
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SQL statements.
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All ProFTPD users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=3Dnet-ftp/proftpd-1.3.2"
