slackware
September 23, 2003
Upgraded WU-FTPD packages are available for Slackware 9.0 and-current
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 9.0 ChangeLog: Tue Sep 23 14:43:10 PDT 2003 pasture/dontuse/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd-2.6.2-i486-3.tgz: Fixed a security problem in /etc/ftpconversions (CVE-1999-0997). There's also another hole in wu-ftpd which may be triggered if the MAIL_ADMIN feature (notifies the admin of anonymous uploads) is used, so MAIL_ADMIN has been disabled in this build. Also note that we've moved this from /pasture to /pasture/dontuse, which should tell you something.
