[Fwd: wu-ftp segfault]

[bryan () VISI COM (Bryan Andersen)]

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.
