Subject: CVE request: lftp saves unknown host's fingerprint in known_hosts
without any prompt
Hello,
I did not see a CVE request for this yet - so here we go:
While connecting to an unknown host, lftp silently accepts it's
fingerprint and adds it to the known_hosts file.
This makes MitM attack possible.
Upstream report...
https://github.com/lavv17/lftp/issues/116
...and the fix:
https://github.com/lavv17/lftp/commit/bc7b476e782d77839765f56bbdb4cee9f36b54ec
References:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=774769
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180209
Can a CVE be assigned to this please?
Thanks.
