Subject:      ncftp 2.4.2 MkDirs bug
To:	BUGTRAQ@NETSPACE.ORG

Bug:

ncftp 2.4.2 has ability to automatic download of whole directories (get
-R). Unfortunately, when downloaded, directories are created using
system() call. So if somewhere, deeply into downloaded directory
structure, lies directory called eg. "`touch GOTCHA`", given code will be
executed without knowledge nor permission of victim.

Fix:

replace system() call in Util.h with mkdir().
