Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Kerberos 5 versions 1.1.x

Description The issue concerns the GSSFTP FTP daemon, which does not properly restrict access to some FTP commands. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and local users to gain root privileges.

Recommendations For Kerberos 5 versions 1.1.x, consider restricting access to the GSSFTP FTP daemon until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, limit the use of FTP commands to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
