Package: twoftpd
Version: 1.21-2
Severity: important

The authentication process eats all available CPU power and does not
return success, even when the given password is correct.  strace'ing the
process shows this output:

write(4, ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
0xfffffffff8578bf1, 133745645) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
write(4, ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
0xfffffffff8578bf0, 133745646) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
write(4, ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
0xfffffffff8578bef, 133745647) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)

repeated over and over.  (My test was to connect to the localhost
machine using lftp, and if the twoftpd-auth process is killed, it simply
respawns a new one, which proceeds to enter the same loop right away.)
