Vendor Information

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

Addendum

It seems that the MIT Kerberos ftpd is based on BSD ftpd revision 5.40, and has never contained any serious format string related bugs for some reason. It is possible that by defining an undocumented CPP macro SETPROCTITLE, calls to setproctitle() can be made, however, there is an internally declared setproctitle() function that does not take a format string as its argument, and is hence not vulnerable.

If you have feedback, comments, or additional information about this vulnerability, please send us email.
