Descriptions

ftpd.c in (1) wu-ftpd 2.4.2 and (2) ftpd in HP HP-UX B.11.11 assigns uid 0 to the FTP client in certain operating-system misconfigurations in which PAM authentication can succeed even though no passwd entry is available for a user, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges, as demonstrated by a login attempt for an LDAP account when nsswitch.conf does not specify LDAP for passwd information.

El archivo ftpd.c en (1) wu-ftpd versiones 2.4.2 y (2) ftpd en HP-UX de HP versión B.11.11, asigna uid 0 al cliente FTP en ciertas configuraciones erróneas del sistema operativo en las que la autenticación PAM puede tener éxito aunque no hay ninguna entrada de passwd disponible para un usuario, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos alcanzar privilegios, como es demostrado por un intento de inicio de sesión para una cuenta LDAP cuando nsswitch.conf no especifica LDAP para la información de passwd.
