Chris didn't reply when I asked him for a copy from his master (old/vsftpd-2.3.4.tar.gz). http://download.polytechnic.edu.na/pub2/vsftpd/vsftpd-2.3.4.tar.gzThis is very helpful, thank you! How did you find it? So, I failed to get this server to give me ctime (looked at HTTP headers and also tried several FTP commands), and the mtime is Feb 15. We could ask the server admins for the ctime.
I think I got the equivalent of the ctime by listing the mtime for ".". It is Jul 01 22:35. Not sure what timezone, though. Some analysis of other timestamps on that server suggests UTC-1, but Wikipedia says UTC+1 or +2 for Namibia. So it appears that the backdoor was introduced between June 30 14:15 UTC and July 1 23:35 UTC (probably before 21:35, though). I think I'll stop wasting time on this... Alexander
