Last modified
CVE-2006-0178 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Format string vulnerability in /bin/ftp in UNICOS 9.0.2.2 allows local users to have an unknown impact via format string specifiers in the quote command. NOTE: because the program is not setuid and not normally called from remote programs, there may not be a typical attack vector for the issue that crosses privilege boundaries. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
