Buffer overflows in BSD-based FTP servers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long pattern string containing a {} sequence, as seen in (1) g_opendir, (2) g_lstat, (3) g_stat, and (4) the glob0 buffer as used in the glob functions glob2 and glob3.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2001-0247 is an old but serious flaw in BSD-derived FTP server glob handling. A remote user could send an overly long pattern involving braces and potentially make the FTP service run arbitrary commands. The source bundle does not identify exact affected products or versions beyond BSD-based FTP servers. Exposure is most likely in legacy BSD-based FTP daemons or systems carrying old BSD glob code. Internet-facing FTP, anonymous FTP, or inherited network appliances from that era deserve priority review. The bundle lists affected vendor and product as n/a, so exact product mapping requires vendor advisory confirmation. Treat as high priority only where legacy FTP remains exposed. Modern environments without BSD-derived FTP services should document non-exposure. Because the flaw can lead to command execution, any confirmed affected internet-facing service should be patched, replaced, or isolated promptly. Mitigation focus: Identify any BSD-derived FTP daemons still deployed or embedded.; Review FreeBSD, NetBSD, SGI, CERT, and vendor guidance for applicable fixes.; Apply supported vendor patches or replace unsupported FTP services..
