[SOLVED] CVE-2016-3125 (proftpd)

Post by sup3rm4n » 2016/04/12 14:40:06

I had a question about CVE-2016-3125 in regards to Centos 6.7. It's for proftpd, the details of the CVE say before 1.3.5b and 1.3.6rc2. However it seems the most up-to-date rpm from the CentOS repo is 1.3.3g-8.el6 I can't find if 1.3.3g-8.el6 is effected at all by this CVE, it is a previous version, however it's not listed as an effected version either. Also I know with Red Hat sometimes rolls up security patches into older RPMs. Any information on this would be helpful. Thanks guys!

There is no proftpd in CentOS 6. Perhaps you are using the EPEL package of proftpd, in which case you should follow this bug entry for any updates: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cg ... -2016-3125

edit: Or rather this one, which states that the bug was fixed in proftpd-1.3.3g-9.el6. Perhaps you should do a yum update --enablerepo=epel-testing
