ftpd.c in the GSS-API FTP daemon in MIT Kerberos Version 5 Applications (aka krb5-appl) 1.0.1 and earlier does not check the krb5_setegid return value, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended group access restrictions, and create, overwrite, delete, or read files, via standard FTP commands, related to missing autoconf tests in a configure script.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects the GSS-API FTP daemon in MIT Kerberos krb5-appl 1.0.1 and earlier. An authenticated remote FTP user could bypass intended group restrictions and access or modify files beyond what policy intended. Exposure is likely limited to environments still running MIT Kerberos Version 5 Applications krb5-appl 1.0.1 or earlier with the GSS-API FTP daemon enabled and reachable by authenticated users. Treat as a targeted legacy-service risk. Prioritize remediation where Kerberos-authenticated FTP remains enabled on systems handling sensitive files or shared operational data. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems running krb5-appl and any GSS-API FTP daemon service.; Apply the relevant MIT, Red Hat, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, or Mandriva vendor update.; Disable or restrict GSS-API FTP where it is not operationally required..
