From email received from SnakeByte out of band, it's clear that he's
working on an extremely old version of WFTPD, downloaded from a web site
that we are unfortunately unable to update due to errors in the automated
update procedures at that web site.
The bug he refers to has been reported to Bugtraq before, has been fixed,
and has been reported fixed on Bugtraq before.
The bug, if there is one, is that anything that is freely distributed is
always available in old versions. Always, always, always go to the source
of whatever software you use to at least check that you are running current
software, even if you don't download from that source directly.
Running extremely old software, as SnakeByte has shown, leaves you open to
extremely old bugs.
Alun.
