What is CVE-2002-0572?

Certain versions of FreeBSD, including 4.5 and earlier, suffer from a local file access vulnerability. This issue arises when local users manage to close standard file descriptors (0, 1, or 2), which can then be inaccurately reused by a called setuid process. This oversight may enable unauthorized read or write actions on restricted files, undermining system security and providing potential access to sensitive information.
