Managers,

Anyone running WuFTP might want to read:

http://www.nipc.gov/warnings/advisories/2001/01-027.htm

I don't know if this vulnerability exists in WuFTP under Tru64 or not.

I would guess that for anyone running base security it could be a real problem. i.e. A hacker might be able to use the above to get your /etc/password file and then hack the passwords out of there.
