The issue is triggered when a malicious user logs onto the victim system using a passwordless account \"ftp\" that is automatically created by sysinstall, while an authorized user is running the sysinstall utility. It is possible that the flaw may allow shell access (via /bin/date) resulting in a loss of integrity.\n## Solution Description\nIt is possible to correct the flaw by implementing the following workaround: use the vipw command to change \"ftp::\" to \"ftp:*:\" and the shell from \"/bin/date\" to \"/nonexistent\".\n\nAlso, FreeBSD has released a patch.\n## Short Description\nFreeBSD contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to access the platform.
