One-byte buffer overflow in replydirname function in BSD-based ftpd allows remote attackers to gain root privileges.

ftpd in NetBSD 1.5 through 1.5.3 and 1.6 does not properly quote a digit in response to a STAT command for a filename that contains a carriage return followed by a digit, which can cause firewalls and other intermediary devices to lose proper track of the FTP session.

ftpd before "NetBSD-ftpd 20230930" can leak information about the host filesystem before authentication via an MLSD or MLST command. tnftpd (the portable version of NetBSD ftpd) before 20231001 is also vulnerable.
