			SCO Security Advisory

Subject:		OpenServer 5.0.6 OpenServer 5.0.7 : wu-ftp local users can bypass access restrictions
Advisory number: 	SCOSA-2005.6
Issue date: 		2005 January 25
Cross reference:	sr889579 fz528958 erg712568 CAN-2004-0148
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

	wu-ftpd 2.6.2 and earlier, with the restricted-gid option
	enabled, allows local users to bypass access restrictions
	by changing the permissions to prevent access to their home
	directory, which causes wu-ftpd to use the root directory
	instead. 

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) 
	has assigned the name CAN-2004-0148 to this issue.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

	System				Binaries
	----------------------------------------------------------------------
	OpenServer 5.0.5 		Not vulnerable
	OpenServer 5.0.6 		/etc/ftpd
	OpenServer 5.0.7 		/etc/ftpd

	The proper solution is to install the latest packages.
