    As far as apt-get is concerned this is the most recent version, but I
    suppose there is nothing stopping anyone downloading and installing
    the latest release.
    I tried the DenyFilter \*.*/ workaround mentioned at
    proftpd.linux.co.uk/critbugs.html
    and it seems fine with this line in the conf file.  All you get now
    is:
    ftp> ls */../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../
    200 PORT command successful.
    550 */../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../*/../: Forbidden
    command argument
