**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** FreeBSD versions 9.3, 10.1, and 10.2 **Description** The issue is related to insufficient access control in the FreeBSD kernel, which can be exploited to cause a denial of service or potentially gain privileges. This can be achieved by making a specially crafted Linux compatibility layer `setgroups` system call. **Recommendations** For versions 9.3, 10.1, and 10.2, consider restricting access to the Linux compatibility layer to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `setgroups` system call until a fix is provided.
