**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** FreeBSD versions 6.3 through 7.0 **Description** The issue allows local users to gain privileges by triggering a General Protection Fault (GPF) during the kernel's return from an interrupt, a trap, or a system call, due to an extra swapgs call made by the kernel after a GPF on amd64 platforms. **Recommendations** For FreeBSD versions 6.3 through 7.0, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue to prevent local users from gaining privileges.
