3.6

Low

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FreeBSD versions prior to 5.0

Description The issue is related to an integer overflow in the f count counter, which can be triggered by local users through multiple calls to functions such as fpathconf and lseek. These functions do not properly decrement f count via a call to fdrop, potentially leading to a denial of service or possibly allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.0, update to version 5.0 or later to resolve the issue.
