As a result, an attacker could establish arbitrary TCP connections to FTP servers or clients located behind a vulnerable firewall. Technical Details ================= http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/328867 Solutions and Workarounds ========================= The IPFilter package, which is shipped with NetBSD, prior to 3.4.29 includes the vulnerable FTP proxy module. Systems enabling both IPFilter and its FTP module are vulnerable. IPFilter and the FTP proxy module are not enabled by default. Therefore, the default installation of NetBSD is not vulnerable to this attack. Quick workaround: Disable FTP proxy module in IP NAT configuration file by removing or commenting out the line which includes both "proxy" and "ftp/". The default location of the configuration file is /etc/ipnat.conf. Solution: Upgrade of the kernel as well as IPFilter-related userland tools. The following instructions describe how to upgrade your kernel and IPFilter- related binaries by updating your source tree and rebuilding and installing a new version. * NetBSD-current: Systems running NetBSD-current dated from before 2002-09-20 should be upgraded to NetBSD-current dated 2002-09-20 or later.
