It appears that this particular exploit has been around since September 1999. 
The script in question works for ProFTPd 1.2.0. But as far as I understand it 
the vulnerability in question should have been fixed in ProFTPD 1.2.0rc3.

A Cobalt with all patches in place should have proftpd-1.2.2rc1-C2, so I 
wonder how you came to the conclusion that you've been hacked this way?

I'll compile the exploit and will run it against my own machine for a 
look-see, though.
