Descriptions

The GridFTP in Globus Toolkit (GT) before 5.2.2, when certain autoconf macros are defined, does not properly check the return value from the getpwnam_r function, which might allow remote attackers to gain privileges by logging in with a user that does not exist, which causes GridFTP to run as the last user in the password file.

GridFTP en Globus Toolkit (GT) antes de v5.2.2, cuando ciertas macros de autoconf se definen, no comprueba correctamente el valor devuelto por la función getpwnam_r, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos obtener privilegios iniciando sesión con un usuario que no existe , lo que provoca que GridFTP se ejecute como último usuario del archivo de contraseñas.
