Debian · Gftp-Gtk · CVE-2005-0372
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
gftp versions prior to 2.0.18
gftp-common (affected versions not specified)
gftp-gtk (affected versions not specified)
gftp-text (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue concerns multiple vulnerabilities in the gftp package of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system, which can lead to a breach of protected information. These vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely. Specifically, a directory traversal vulnerability in gftp before version 2.0.18 for GTK+ allows remote malicious FTP servers to read arbitrary files via .. (dot dot) sequences in filenames returned from a LIST command, such as `/api/ftp/list`.
**Recommendations**
For gftp versions prior to 2.0.18, update to version 2.0.18 or later to resolve the issue.
For gftp-common, gftp-gtk, and gftp-text, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable components until a patch is available. Avoid using the `LIST` command in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
