RHBA-2013:0845 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
ftp bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated ftp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.
Description
The ftp packages provide the standard UNIX command-line File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) client. FTP is a widely used protocol for transferring files over the
Internet, and for archiving files.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, when the FTP client was used from a shell with elevated
permissions (through the su or the sudo utility), it incorrectly assumed the UID
from the original login, instead of the user initiating the client.
Consequently, the local home directory was incorrect. With this update, the
underlying code has been modified to correctly get the login credentials using
the getpwuid(3) utility function call. Now, the local home directory is set
according to the user running the client. (BZ#861113)
All users of ftp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
