1) Update to the latest... Don't quible about this or that.
2) The worm is very anal about what it triggers on. It triggers
on the date in the ftp banner. If you are anything OTHER than the release
that is in 6.2 OOB or 7.0 First Edition OOB you are safe, not because you
can not be exploited but because this worm doesn't know what to do with
the date in that ftp banner. Small comfort. Next cut may include your
date.
LESSON: Doesn't MATTER! Get the latest or shut it down!
