I'm forwarding this as a heads up. It's not known if this is a ture security problem yet, but version 2.6.0 of WU-FTPD is having segmentation faults. It could just be segfaulting on it's own or it may have been assisted. This is from the debian-devel () lists debian org list. Yes the guy restarted wu-ftpd after upgrading it. The version on the system is 2.6.0 so it's up to snuff as far as known exploits listed in CERT web pages. Andreas Tille wrote:

The system is an about three week old potato I'm maintaining over a quite slow connection.
