CVE-2012-3292 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (globus-gridftp-server), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
The GridFTP in Globus Toolkit (GT) before 5.2.2, when certain autoconf macros are defined, does not properly check the return value from the getpwnam_r function, which might allow remote attackers to gain privileges by logging in with a user that does not exist, which causes GridFTP to run as the last user in the password file.
