Description
FreeBSD 4.5 and earlier, and possibly other BSD-based operating systems, allows local users to write to or read from restricted files by closing the file descriptors 0 (standard input), 1 (standard output), or 2 (standard error), which may then be reused by a called setuid process that intended to perform I/O on normal files.

Frech> XF:bsd-suid-apps-gain-privileges(8920) Christey> BSA? Nope. BSD. Take a closer look at XF:bsd-suid-apps-gain-privileges(8920), which also references CVE-2002-0820. Christey> Other OSes besides FreeBSD are affected. HP:SSRT0845U URL:http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bugtraq&m=104800750626108&w=2 Need to more closely examine the relationship between CVE-2002-0820 and CVE-2002-0572, especially with respect to references.
