CVE-2004-0148
First published: Thu Apr 15 2004(Updated: )
wu-ftpd 2.6.2 and earlier, with the restricted-gid option enabled, allows local users to bypass access restrictions by changing the permissions to prevent access to their home directory, which causes wu-ftpd to use the root directory instead.
