security flaws in proftpd/wuftpd ?

[aphro <nate@firetrail.com>]

i find it very suprising that there is not even a peep from debian
developers about the massive security holes in proftpd and the minor ones
in wu.ftpd ..virtually all the other distros announced.  even if there is
not a good fix people should be made aware not everyone watches bugtraq.

unless the version(s) of proftpd in debian are safe? i read a post that
talked about flaws in the very design of it, making it secure would
require almost an entire re-write of the whole package.

i posted to debian-user a few weeks back askin for help with this issue
but never saw a reply(if there was sorry i must've missed it)
