Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2013-01-07 19:22:36 UTC
From $URL :

A time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition flaw was found in the way ProFTPD, flexible, 
stable and highly-configurable FTP server, handled MKD/XMKD FTP commands when the UserOwner 
directive was involved. A local attacker could use this flaw to possibly escalate their privileges 
via symbolic-link attacks on directories, created by ProFTPD prior UserOwner ownership was applied.

CVE-2012-6095 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-6095):
  ProFTPD before 1.3.5rc1, when using the UserOwner directive, allows local
  users to modify the ownership of arbitrary files via a race condition and a
  symlink attack on the (1) MKD or (2) XMKD commands.

The tree got fixed ebuild 'net-ftp/proftpd-1.3.4c' (fixed upstream).

Thanks, Sergei. Should we stabilize that one or the -r1 ?

It's safer to stabilize '=net-ftp/proftpd-1.3.4c'.

-r1 differs only by new modules. I'd ike to have them in ~arch for a while.

Arches, please test and mark stable.

Comment 6 Vicente Olivert Riera (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-04-20 11:38:03 UTC
We need to stabilize >=dev-libs/libmemcached-0.41 first, because =net-ftp/proftpd-1.3.4c[memcache] depends on it.

There is a stablereq for =dev-libs/libmemcached-0.50 here -> bug #443518

Negative. Security stable requests are not meant to first stabilize a package on a new arch. File a separate request.
