Hello,

  wuftpd can create core dump in two following situation too (yes, dump
will contain some subset of shadowed passwords):

1) "pasv" given when user not logged in
   (caused by error in passive())

2) more than 100 arguments to any executable command (for example, "list")
   (caused by error in ftpd_popen())

  First error presents in almost all version of bsd's ftpd, wu-ftpd and
derived. Second error presents in all versions of bsd's ftpd, wu-ftpd and
derived (as far as I know).
  Bugfixes are simple. Checking for "pw != NULL" in first case, and
checking for "argc < 100" in another one (see sources).

Best regards, Vadim.

P.S. By the way, who knows e-mail of wu-ftpd developer? Mail me, pls...
