  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    By specifying an unsupported address family in the arguments to a LPRT
    or LPASV command, an assertion in oftpd will cause the daemon to abort.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    Remote, unauthenticated attackers may be able to terminate any oftpd
    process, denying service to legitimate users.
    </p>
  </impact>

    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All oftpd users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-ftp/oftpd-0.3.7-r3"</code>
