response: (slightly edited by se0020)

I can confirm that the problem is present in War FTP
Daemon 1.67.04.
After examining the problem, it _looks_ like the exploit
is limited to listing the content one level up from the
root-directory. I was unable to access any of the
listed files or directories. I do however consider the
problem as serious, and wil release a fix within a few
hours.

the patch has been already released:
