CVE-2000-0462

Summary

CVE-2000-0462 is a vulnerability affecting the ftpd service in NetBSD 1.4.2. The issue lies in the way the ftpd service handles entries in the /etc/ftpchroot file, failing to correctly parse them and apply the intended chroot restrictions. Consequently, users specified in the file can access files outside of their home directories. This flaw poses a risk to system security, as unintended file access can lead to data breaches or unauthorized modifications.
