What about Red Hat 6.0 (includes wu-ftpd-2.4.2vr17-3.i386.rpm) and
6.1 (includes wu-ftpd-2.5.0-9.i386.rpm)? I know that the sploit tf8
released was for version 2.6.0, but earlier versions of wu-ftpd
are vunerable, too.  Does anyone know if Red Hat plans to release
RPMs to fix the 2.5.0 version included in Red Hat 6.1?
