    Package : globus-gridftp-server
    Vulnerability : programming error
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-3292

    It was discovered that the GridFTP component from the Globus Toolkit, a
    toolkit used for building Grid systems and applications performed
    insufficient validation of a name lookup, which could lead to privilege escalation.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.23-1+squeeze1 of the globus-gridftp-server source package
    and in version 0.43-1+squeeze1 of the globus-gridftp-server-control
    source package

    For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid),
    this problem has been fixed in version 6.5-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your globus-gridftp-server packages.
