Summary:           CAN-2003-0853 /  CAN-2003-0854
Date:              2003-11-15
Affected versions: TSL 1.2, 1.5, 2.0

Package description:
  coreutils:
  The GNU coreutils includes a number of GNU versions of common and popular
  utilites which used to be part of the fileutils, sh-utils and textutils.
  fileutils:
  The fileutils package includes a number of GNU versions of common and
  popular file management utilities.
  anonftp:
  The anonftp package contains the files you need in order to
  allow anonymous FTP access to your machine.

Problem description:
  An integer overflow in ls in the fileutils or coreutils packages may allow
  local users to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a
  large -w value, which could be remotely exploited via applications that use
  ls, such as wu-ftpd.


Action:
  We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
  Please note that if you do not need the anonftp package, you may want to
  remove it from your system.
