1. Problem Description

	The wu_fnmatch function in wu_fnmatch.c for wu-fptd 2.6.1
	and 2.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
	service (CPU exhaustion by recursion) via a glob pattern
	with a large number of SCOSA-2005.28.in SCOSA-2005.28.txt
	erg712855.711.pkg.Z erg712855.711.txt erg712855.713.pkg.Z
	erg712855.713.txt (wildcard) characters, as demonstrated
	using the dir copmmand. 

	The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) 
	has assigned the following name CAN-2005-0256 to this issue.
