So am I.

Did you ever think of contacting Linux distribution maintainers before
making these things public, especially if they have as much impact
as a remotable hole in wu-ftpd?

I'm all for full disclosure intellectual property bla bla bla, but
just unloading a pile of shit on other people's doorsteps is NOT
what I would call in any way cooperative.

PS: The wu-ftpd hole seems to apply _only_ to the VR series, and 2.5.
I checked 2.4beta17 from WU, and it didn't have any of that mapped_path
stuff.
