Understanding the Vulnerability The daemon in.ftpd is the Internet File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server process and the daemon in.rlogind is the rlogin server process. This vulnerability, if exploited, allows an unprivileged user to connect from an ftp server's data port to a rlogin server on a host that trusts the host that the ftp server resides on. If exploited, attackers may execute arbitrary commands on the attacked host. 4.
