Package: oftpd
Version: 20040304-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


oftpd is exposed to a Denial-of-Service attack, as described in
http://www.time-travellers.org/oftpd/oftpd-dos.html

the solution is to upgrade to 0.3.7

i think this has been fixed in woody (oftpd-0.3.6-6 upload by the
security team), however sarge has a broken version.

(since i just recently switched from woody to sarge, that's why i
came across this)

i really think that this should be fixed in sarge by security-team.

i know that this is basically a duplication of bug#307957, however,
since the maintainer has not reacted, i re-report this bug with a higher
priority (which i really think it deserves)
(and btw, reportbug didn't give me the option to find out whether this
bug has already been reported)

related question: is there another secure anonymous-only ftp-client in
debian/sarge?
