vsftpd 3.0.2 and earlier contain a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to bypass access restrictions due to improper parsing of the deny_file configuration directive.
Impact
Unauthenticated attackers can bypass access restrictions configured via the deny_file directive to access files that should be restricted, potentially exposing sensitive data on vsftpd servers.
Remediation
Update vsftpd to a version newer than 3.0.2 that properly parses and enforces the deny_file configuration directive to prevent access restriction bypass.
