CVE-2013-5691

FreeBSD 8.3-9.2-STABLE - Local Privilege Escalation via Unvalidated ioctl Requests

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

The (1) IPv6 and (2) ATM ioctl request handlers in the kernel in FreeBSD 8.3 through 9.2-STABLE do not validate SIOCSIFADDR, SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR, and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests, which allows local users to perform link-layer actions, cause a denial of service (panic), or possibly gain privileges via a crafted application.
