CVE-2017-12170
Downstream version 1.0.46-1 of pure-ftpd as shipped in Fedora was vulnerable to packaging error due to which the original configuration was ignored after update and service started running with default configuration.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.52%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Downstream version 1.0.46-1 of pure-ftpd as shipped in Fedora was vulnerable to packaging error due to which the original configuration was ignored after update and service started running with default configuration. This has security implications because of overriding security-related configuration. This issue doesn't affect upstream version of pure-ftpd.
