Let's hope it's not as buggy as this LOL. Someone commented out the functioning areas, and not one of the supposed "many eyes" caught it for years? So much for the theory open source helps security. This appears to be one of the primary security algorithms for Debian/Ubuntu Linux and all their derivatives, of which there are many.
The BSD FTP and Telnet clients in Windows are pretty solid.

Poor programming can slip through any development process, and this is a very good example of stupidity in programming getting through. OTOH, at least we know this will get fixed quickly. MS and Apple have been known to sit on bugs for a while. How long did MS take to fix that really dumb RPC rollover programming bug?
