    Published: 2 Mar 2007Last Modified: 10 Apr 2026

    Summary:

    Details: ftpd, as used by Gentoo and Debian Linux, sets the gid to the effective uid instead of the effective group id before executing /bin/ls, which allows remote authenticated users to list arbitrary directories with the privileges of gid 0 and possibly enable additional attack vectors.
