It's the MSFT email that's fresh. That, not the exploit, was the
intended focus of my posting. I apologize for having not expressed
that clearly enough.

The CORE website has example exploit code and the bindview site has
software to locate vulnerable copies of wu-ftp on RH servers. All
that seems to be missing is the announcement of a corporate sponsor
for the cracking contest.
