I believe that last security exploit in wu-ftpd was the glob exploit.
This affected ProFTP as well.  

Given that wu-ftpd is used a *lot* more than ProFTP and that there are
no recent exploits to wu-ftpd, wu-ftpd is probably at least as secure as
ProFTP.  I strongly suspect that wu-ftpd has had a lot more penetration
attempts than ProFTP.
