What is CVE-2002-0701?

The ktrace utility in BSD-based operating systems features a security flaw that permits a process owner with specific privileges to trace their process after its privileges have been diminished. This capability could potentially enable the owner to access sensitive data that the process accumulated while it was executing with elevated privileges, posing serious risks to data confidentiality.
