Washington University Information for VU#426273

Date Notified:2000-12-11
Date Updated:
Statement Date:
Status Summary:Unknown

Vendor Statement

WU-FTPD 2.6.1 supports Kerberos in one of two ways:
  • Via PAM: in which case we defer any statement of vulnerability to the PAM maintainers.
  • Via direct calls: in which case we are probably as vulnerable as any other service using Kerberos for user authentication.
For WU-FTPD systems using Kerberos, especially those which do not use shared libraries, I would recommend re-compiling (specifically, re-linking) the daemon to ensure an updated Kerberos runtime is used.

Vendor Information

The vendor has not provided us with any further information regarding this vulnerability.
