Christey> MISC:http://www.xlightftpd.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40 | In the above URL, the vendor says that only one of 3 bugs | reported in February 2004 were an "actual server bug," and the other 2 | "traced back into windows" dll and they won"t happen if windows | service pack is installed. | | The "actual server bug" is CVE-2004-0287. The demonstration | for *this* issue shows that the application breaks in comctl32.dll. | So, this candidate may be erroneous, and an interesting side effect of | another bug that"s not related to xlight at all. | | Thus, this candidate may need to be REJECTED.
