For those of you that use ncftp:
 
 subject: ncftp 2.4.3 
added by: scoop (scoop@unreal.org) 
    date: 03/20/98 
 
A new version of ncftp is available, fixing the security hole
mentioned on roots hell.com (http://www.rootshell.com/view.cgi?199803)
earlier this week. The vulnerability present in ncftp 2.4.2 enables
the attacker to create cryptic directory names that execute commands
on your local machine if you get -R them. There's some other small
fixes, just browse the changelog (files/changelogs/ncftp-changelog). 
  
o Get it (ftp://ftp.ncftp.com/ncftp/ncftp-2.4.3.tar.gz)
