Description of problem: According to http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-2348 version of lftp used in RHEL 5 and earlier have issues with quoting in scripts generated by 'mirror --script' and this may cause priviledge escalation and a remote command execution (although possibilty of such attack looks somewhat remote). Looking at versions it appears that this lftp will be affected by bug #211483 as well. The same will apply to FC5; FC6 and rawhide currently sport versions where this bug was fixed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): lftp-3.5.1-2.fc6
