{"id":"MGASA-2016-0118","summary":"Updated filezilla packages fix security vulnerability","details":"Many versions of PSCP in PuTTY prior to 0.67 have a stack corruption\nvulnerability in their treatment of the 'sink' direction (i.e. downloading\nfrom server to client) of the old-style SCP protocol. In order for this\nvulnerability to be exploited, the user must connect to a malicious server\nand attempt to download any file (CVE-2016-2563).\n\nFileZilla was vulnerable to this issue as it bundles a copy of PuTTY.  The\nfilezilla package has been updated to version 3.16.1, which fixes this\nissue and has many other fixes and enhancements.\n","modified":"2026-04-16T06:25:02.786755641Z","published":"2016-03-25T06:38:37Z","upstream":["CVE-2016-2563"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0118.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17943"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/vuln-pscp-sink-sscanf.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/changes.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://filezilla-project.org/"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"filezilla","ecosystem":"Mageia:5","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/filezilla?arch=source&distro=mageia-5"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.16.1-1.mga5"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0118.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libfilezilla","ecosystem":"Mageia:5","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/libfilezilla?arch=source&distro=mageia-5"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.4.0.1-1.mga5"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0118.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pugixml","ecosystem":"Mageia:5","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/pugixml?arch=source&distro=mageia-5"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.7-1.mga5"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0118.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
