    Vulnerability : symlink race
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-6095
    Debian Bug : 697524

    It has been discovered that in ProFTPd, an FTP server, an attacker on
    the same physical host as the server may be able to perform a symlink
    attack allowing to elevate privileges in some configurations.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.3.3a-6squeeze5.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.3.4a-3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your proftpd-dfsg packages.
