DSA 686-1:
----------
Albert Puigsech Galicia discovered a directory traversal vulnerability
in a proprietary FTP client (CAN-2004-1376) which is also present in
gftp, a GTK+ FTP client.  A malicious server could provide a specially
crafted filename that could cause arbitrary files to be overwritten or
created by the client.


This problem has been fixed in version 2.0.18-1, however Sarge has still
version 2.0.17+cvs20050102-3. gftp version 2.0.18-1 is only waiting for 
gtk+2.0 in order to move to Sarge.
