Directory traversal vulnerability in pure-FTPd 1.0.22 and possibly other versions, when running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and possibly other operating systems, when the Netware OES remote server feature is enabled, allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via unknown vectors.
Multiple libc/glob(3) flaws were reported [1] that affect various BSD libc implementations. In particular, globs containing braces could lead to resource exhaustion.
One such vulnerable application is Pure-FTPd. This has been corrected in upstream version 1.0.32, where support for braces expansion in directory listings was disabled.

Pure-FTPd has released version 1.0.30 which fixes a STARTTLS flaw similar to Postfix's CVE-2011-0411 [1]. Upgrading is recommended.
