ktrace in BSD-based operating systems allows the owner of a process with special privileges to trace the process after its privileges have been lowered, which may allow the owner to obtain sensitive information that the process obtained while it was running with the extra privileges.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-0701 is a local information disclosure issue in ktrace on BSD-based operating systems. A user who owns a process that previously ran with extra privileges may be able to trace it after privilege reduction and recover sensitive data. The bundle does not show active exploitation or complete affected version details. Exposure is most likely on legacy, unpatched FreeBSD, OpenBSD, or related BSD systems where local users can run or own processes that temporarily use elevated privileges. Treat this as a moderate legacy-platform risk. It is not presented as remotely exploitable, but it can expose secrets on shared or untrusted BSD systems if old vendor fixes are missing. Mitigation focus: Review FreeBSD-SA-02:30 and OpenBSD ktrace errata for affected releases.; Apply the relevant vendor security fixes or upgrade unsupported BSD systems.; Limit local shell access on legacy BSD hosts until patch status is confirmed..
