Quoted from www.wu-ftpd.org. I guess Redhat is pretty annoying indeed,
who stole a verison number from the original developer... :)

The WU-FTPD Development Group has been made aware by Security Focus of a
vulnerability in WU-FTPD which could lead to a root compromise when
exploited. We have verified the existence of this vulnerability in
version 2.6.1 which is the currently shipping version of wu-ftpd and a
2.7.0 version shipped by Redhat as 2.6.1-16. 

A new version with all these patches applied will be made available
shortly as version 2.6.2. To avoid confusion, we will skip the 2.7.0
version number.
