[SECURITY] Corrected advisory on wu-ftpd-academ buffer overflow

[Wichert Akkerman <wichert@cs.leidenuniv.nl>]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

The previous advisory concerning wu-ftpd-academ contained an error: the
md5sum given for wu-ftpd-academ_2.4.2.16-12.2_i386.deb was incorrect.
The correct md5sum is b851adb345917a6f92e8b03f8cc97ff2.

I apologize for the confusion this has caused. The complete, updated,
text of the advisory follows.

Wichert.
