CVE-2000-0574 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. FTP servers such as OpenBSD ftpd, NetBSD ftpd, ProFTPd and Opieftpd do not properly cleanse untrusted format strings that are used in the setproctitle function (sometimes called by set_proc_title), which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary commands.. EPSS estimates a 58.87% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
