This provided a providential opportunity to handle the exponential memory usage involved in the columnar display; thus, we have included a patch from Solar Designer to limit the number of columns to 1024, reducing the chance of memory exhaustion and working around the off-by-one vulnerability. ls(1) is exposed through wu-ftpd, potentially to unauthenticated users. If your setup is a chroot wu-ftpd, please replace the copy of ls in the chroot with this copy. This patch fixes CAN-2003-0853 and CAN-2003-0854. Many thanks to Georgi Guninski and Solar Designer for spotting the problem and providing the solution.
