proftpd bug or not?



Hi,

After some noise in bugtraq and vuln-dev(reported by: Martin Krafft to
-security).I've one question.

The problem is about glob DoS, something like type:
ls */../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../* 

See this quote from changelog:

proftpd (1.2.0pre10-2.0potato1) stable; urgency=high

  * Non-Maintainer upload.
  * Applied patch against string format buffer attack.

Is it the fix report to the problem ?

thanks,
