Colleagues:

I do not quite understand the impact of the globbing vulnerability.

As far as I understand, it can be exploited only after a user has
logged in, so ftpd is already chrooted and running with the uid of
the user at the moment.  What serious trouble can an attacker
cause under these conditions?

Thank you for any input.
