statementCVE-2001-0935 refers to vulnerabilities found when SUSE did a code audit of the wu-ftpd glob.c file in wu-ftpd 2.6.0. They shared these details with the wu-ftpd upstream authors who clarified that some of the issues did not apply, and all were addressed by the version of glob.c in upstream wu-ftpd 2.6.1. Therefore we believe that the issues labelled as CVE-2001-0935 do not affect wu-ftpd 2.6.1 or later versions and therefore do not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.
