NetBSD ftpd and ports *Remote ROOOOOT $HOLE$*
The NetBSD ftpd and the tnftpd port suffer from a remote stack overrun, which can lead to a root compromise. The bug is in glob.c file. The globbing mechanism is flawed as back in 2001. To trigger the overflow, an attacker can create a folder and use the globbing special characters (like STARS) to overflow an internal stack based buffer.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of the software.
