Summary
The TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) allows remote users to read files without having to log in. This may be a big security flaw, especially if tftpd (the TFTP server) is not well configured by the admin of the remote host.
Solution
Solution
Disable the tftp daemon, or if you really need it run it in a chrooted environment
