Package        : wu-ftpd
Vulnerability  : temp file creation and format string
Debian-specific: no

Security people at WireX have noticed a temp file creation bug and the WU-FTPD development team has found a possible format string bug in wu-ftpd. Both could be remotely exploited, though no such exploit exists currently.

This additional advisory only announces a recompile of the package for the Intel ia32 architecture. The upload from yesterday was lacking PAM support. This only required a recompile and contains no other fixes. (Sorry, but when I make a mistake, I have to make it real, this time it's the correct file).

For upgrading please use

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

Or use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
