Slackware: 2018-214-01: lftp Security Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/lftp-4.8.4-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. It has been discovered that lftp up to and including version 4.8.3 does not properly sanitize remote file names, leading to a loss of integrity on the local system when reverse mirroring is used. A remote attacker may trick a user to use reverse mirroring on an attacker controlled FTP server, resulting in the removal of all files in the current working directory of the victim's system. For more information, see: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-10916 (* Security fix *)
