From: Mike Wangsmo <wanger@redhat.com>

A bug in glibc has been discovered that allows for a denial of service 
attack in ftpd.  The following packages correct this problem and all 
users of Red Hat Linux 5.0 using ftpd should upgrade.  As always, these 
packages have been signed with the Red Hat PGP key.
