CAN-2005-0256

Adam Zabrocki discovered a denial of service condition in wu-ftpd that could be exploited by a remote user and cause the server to slow down by resource exhaustion.

CAN-2003-0854

Georgi Guninski discovered that /bin/ls may be called from within wu-ftpd in a way that will result in large memory consumption and hence slow down the server.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2-3woody5.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 2.6.2-19.

We recommend that you upgrade your wu-ftpd package.");
