Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions wu-ftpd version 2.4

Description The issue arises from the wu-ftpd 2.4 FTP server's failure to properly drop privileges when an ABOR command is executed during a file transfer. This leads to incorrect signal handling, potentially allowing local and possibly remote attackers to read arbitrary files.

Recommendations For wu-ftpd version 2.4, consider restricting access to the ABOR command until a fix is available, or apply configuration changes that mitigate the risk of privilege escalation.
