Got a vulnerability report from RedHat. An excerpt ...

vsftpd (Very Secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) daemon) is a secure FTP server for Linux, UNIX, and similar operating systems.

A flaw was discovered in the way vsftpd processed file name patterns. An FTP user could use this flaw to cause the vsftpd process to use an excessive amount of CPU time, when processing a request with a specially-crafted file name pattern.

That's what happens when then name of your product starts with the words "very secure".
