Serv-U has released a security patch yesterday. An e-mail has been send out
to registered users. It fixes the MDTM problem and some other small bugs.


"Serv-U 5.0.0.4 has been released.  This is a point-release of 5.0 that
fixes a number of bugs.  We highly recommend upgrading to 5.0.0.4, in
particular for the following reasons:

* A bug in SQL statements used by ODBC domains has been fixed.
* Added automatic connection retry in case ODBC connectivity failure.
* A bug causing Secure-FTP transfers to fail has been fixed.
* A bug in the MDTM command that could cause server crashes has been
  fixed.

You can download 5.0.0.4 from the following location:

http://www.Serv-U.com/dn.asp

Running the setup program should upgrade your existing installation of
Serv-U.  We don't expect any problems, but to be on the safe side
please make a backup of your Serv-U directory prior to installing the
new release."

Thanks,
Peter
