  Unless it is something totally different with exactly the same name and
the same help text, this fake 0 day is at least 6 months old. You can grab
it here : ftp://ftp.fr.pureftpd.org/misc/pureftps-fake.c

  That one relies on things that don't even exist in Pure-FTPd like CWD
globbing. Also as non-printable characters are replaced by underscores, the
shellcode should be at least changed a bit to be credible.
