CVE-2000-0489
FreeBSD NetBSD OpenBSD - Denial of Service via Socket Pair Buffer Overflow
Title source: llmExploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2000-0489. PoCs published by L. Sassaman.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit triggers a denial of service (DoS) in BSD-based systems by manipulating socket buffer sizes in a socketpair, causing a kernel panic in FreeBSD or unresponsiveness in NetBSD/OpenBSD. It repeatedly sets large buffer sizes and writes data to exploit the vulnerability.
Description
FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by creating a large number of socket pairs using the socketpair function, setting a large buffer size via setsockopt, then writing large buffers.
