REDHAT-BUG-711419

First published: Tue Jun 07 2011(Updated: )

It was found that the kerberized FTP server did not properly check for the failure to set its effective group identifier (GID). A remote, authenticated FTP user could use this flaw to gain unauthorized read or write access to files whose group owner was the initial effective GID of the FTP daemon process.
