{"id":"MGASA-2017-0115","summary":"Updated proftpd packages fix security vulnerability","details":"ProFTPD before 1.3.5e controls whether the home directory of a user could\ncontain a symbolic link through the AllowChrootSymlinks configuration\noption, but checks only the last path component when enforcing\nAllowChrootSymlinks. Attackers with local access could bypass the\nAllowChrootSymlinks control by replacing a path component (other than the\nlast one) with a symbolic link. The threat model includes an attacker who\nis not granted full filesystem access by a hosting provider, but can\nreconfigure the home directory of an FTP user (CVE-2017-7418).\n","modified":"2026-04-16T01:46:41.138219319Z","published":"2017-04-24T07:27:32Z","upstream":["CVE-2017-7418"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2017-0115.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20640"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.proftpd.org/docs/RELEASE_NOTES-1.3.5e"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"proftpd","ecosystem":"Mageia:5","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/proftpd?arch=source&distro=mageia-5"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.3.5e-1.mga5"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2017-0115.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
