CVE-2006-7094 Information

Description

ftpd as used by Gentoo and Debian Linux sets the gid to the effective uid instead of the effective group id before executing /bin/ls which allows remote authenticated users to list arbitrary directories with the privileges of gid 0 and possibly enable additional attack vectors.
