Hello,
I just signed up with the debian-security mailing list so I am not up to speed
with all the discussions.
What is the status with the wu-ftpd updated potato packages?
I could find no mention of it on the debian main or security web pages and a
search of several mailing lists showed no mention to what is being done about
this exploit (The most recent wu-ftpd discussion was on Dec 4 / 6 in
debian-user).
Searching through the posts on the slashdot discussion made no mention of
updating the packages either (though they did recomend switching to proftpd or
even better bsd-ftpd which is based on openbsd).
Announcements on bugtraq mention that debian is working on a patch, but
updated "stable/potato" packages have not been released yet. I know redhat
released their announcement early, but it pains me to see redhat ahead of
debian on the security fix by almost 2 days.
Are there other sysadmins using wu-ftpd and if so what are they doing about
this vulnurability?
thanks,
donfede
