I gleaned the following from looking through the commit logs in my local
copy of the source repository:

Two files in src/libexec/ftpd appear to have been changed to address the
globbing bug, ftpd.c and popen.c.  The solution also appears to rely upon some
changes made to libc.

open.c

revision 1.20 (CURRENT)
date: 2001/03/19 19:11:00;  author: jlemon;  state: Exp;  lines: +3 -1
Teach ftpd about the new GLOB_MAXPATH flag.

MFC: globbing limits for ftpd.

MFC: globbing limits for ftpd
 
 
ftpd.c

revision 1.74 (CURRENT)
date: 2001/03/19 19:11:00;  author: jlemon;  state: Exp;  lines: +10 -1
Teach ftpd about the new GLOB_MAXPATH flag.
 
revision 1.62.2.9 (RELENG_4)
date: 2001/03/21 14:40:36;  author: jlemon;  state: Exp;  lines: +11 -1
MFC: globbing limits for ftpd.


This indicates that the problem was addressed in CURRENT on 3/19, in 4.2-STABLE
on 3/21, and was partially implemented in 3.5-STABLE on 4/8.  (The ftpd.c
portion of the fix does not seem to have been committed to the 3.5 branch.)

Personally, I'd do a full cvsup to address this.

I'm sure that lots of people will let me know if I've mis-stated anything. :)
