What is CVE-2002-0244?

A directory traversal vulnerability exists in AtheOS 0.3.7 due to improper validation in the chroot function, which allows attackers to exploit the system by manipulating the pathname argument. Through the use of '..' (dot dot) in the pathname, an attacker can escape the chroot jail, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the file system and exposing sensitive information. This flaw underscores the importance of proper input validation and security configurations within chroot environments.
