proftpd exploit

[mimo <mimo@restoel.net>]

I have just discovered this exploit report but couldn't find anything 
about other distros than Slackware
http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/index.html
Does any body know if the debian version is affected too?
All I could think of for the moment was disabling donwloading via FTP 
globally. Any ideas?

Thanks

Michael
