CVE-2004-1066

FreeBSD 4.8-5.3 - Denial of Service or Kernel Memory Read via Invalid Process Argument Vector

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The cmdline pseudofiles in (1) procfs on FreeBSD 4.8 through 5.3, and (2) linprocfs on FreeBSD 5.x through 5.3, do not properly validate a process argument vector, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) or read portions of kernel memory. NOTE: this candidate might be SPLIT into 2 separate items in the future.
