Summary
fts routines in FreeBSD 4.3 and earlier, NetBSD before 1.5.2, and OpenBSD 2.9 and earlier can be forced to change (chdir) into a different directory than intended when the directory above the current directory is moved, which could cause scripts to perform dangerous actions on the wrong directories.
