CVE-2006-6652
Status: ModifiedHigh (9)—💥 Exploit
Buffer overflow in the glob implementation (glob.c) in libc in NetBSD-current before 20050914, NetBSD 2.* and 3.* before 20061203, and Apple Mac OS X before 2007-004, as used by the FTP daemon and tnftpd, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long pathname that results from path expansion.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 9
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 20%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 97
- Score date: 10/8/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
💥 Public exploits
Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
