Greetings:

I have followed with interest the recent exchanges about the ftpd
globbing vulnerability.  Below is a line from the logs of a certain site
I host.  The output looks very similar to the output I've seen shared
here about how the vulnerability is exploited.  Could this be an
(attempt) to exploit the same vulnerability through httpd?  And as
always, can this even be considered an attack?  My apache and bind are
up to date and  requests like this come through at a variable rate, have
not crashed the service, but do seem to be increasing load and eating up
bandwidth.  Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Joe
