There was a vulnerability released today in wu ftpd and I'm unclear if 
this would affect the software running on a freebsd system.  It appears 
to cause problems on linux 2.4.x kernels but not older kernels due to 
the way the compiler works.  Does anyone know if this problem is 
exploitable on freebsd?  If not, where should I ask this question?

Here's the header included in the advisory with links.
