okay, updated. removing all builds I can (safely) do. Testing in progress. Remove what remains as you release the advisory.
tested on all arches that has it stable. all old builds removed.
trance: can you look at why this is in the lftp changelog: 11 Apr 2003; Graham Forest <vladimir@gentoo.org> lftp-2.5.4-r1.ebuild, lftp-2.6.2.ebuild, lftp-2.6.3.ebuild, lftp-2.6.4.ebuild, lftp-2.6.5.ebuild: -ppc'd until >=sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.20 is ok on ppc that version of binutils is still not stable on ppc.
ppc is already way beyond that binutils version, lftp 2.6.10 works

A specially created directory on a web server could be used to execute arbitrary code on the connecting machine. The user's machine has to connect to a malicious web server using HTTP or HTTPS, then issue an "ls" or "rels" command. Please see <http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/347587/2003-12-13/2003-12-19/0> for more details on this problem. SOLUTION: All machines which have net-ftp/lftp installed should be updated to use version 2.6.10 or higher using these commands: emerge sync emerge -pv '>=net-ftp/lftp-2.6.10' emerge '>=net-ftp/lftp-2.6.10' emerge clean // end -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (Darwin) iD8DBQE/4U3Wnt0v0zAqOHYRAm7VAJsHDxrJLLQOU51blaP2VMCjkt/+dQCcC6zP m/ELiJH0C0PukA++i1CfCmc= =h16K -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
