Category:FTP
Title:pyftpd Multiple Vulnerabilities
Summary:pyftpd is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.
Description:Summary:
pyftpd is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Insight:
1.

pyftpd is prone to multiple default-account vulnerabilities. These
issues stem from a design flaw that makes several accounts available
to remote attackers.

Successful exploits allow remote attackers to gain unauthorized access
to a vulnerable application.

2.

pyftpd creates temporary files in an insecure manner.

An attacker with local access could potentially exploit this issue to
perform symbolic-link attacks, overwriting arbitrary files in the
context of the affected application.

Successfully mounting a symlink attack may allow the attacker to
delete or corrupt sensitive files, which may result in a denial of
service. Other attacks may also be possible.

Affected Software/OS:
pyftpd prior to 0.8.5 are affected.

Solution:
Vendor updates are available. Please see the references for more
information.

CVSS Score:
