The glob implementation in libc in FreeBSD 7.3 and 8.1, NetBSD 5.0.2, and OpenBSD 4.7, and Libsystem in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.8, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via crafted glob expressions that do not match any pathnames, as demonstrated by glob expressions in STAT commands to an FTP daemon, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2632.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old denial-of-service flaw in glob pattern handling on several BSD-derived systems and Mac OS X before 10.6.8. A remote user with access to an affected service could trigger excessive CPU and memory use, potentially making the service or host unavailable. Exposure is most likely on legacy BSD or pre-10.6.8 Mac OS X systems, especially services that pass user-supplied glob patterns to libc glob(). Internet-facing FTP services are the clearest cited example. Treat as a legacy-platform availability risk. Prioritize if affected systems still run exposed FTP or similar services. For modern patched fleets, urgency is low, but legacy estate validation is still warranted. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apple systems to Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later where applicable.; Apply NetBSD vendor fixes from NetBSD-SA2010-008 where applicable.; Check FreeBSD and OpenBSD vendor guidance for affected legacy releases..
