Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: NetBSD versions 2.0 through 3.0

Description: The issue allows local users to cause a denial of service, resulting in a kernel crash. This is achieved by using an ELF interpreter without a PT LOAD section in its header, which triggers a null dereference in the elf load file function.

Recommendations: For NetBSD versions 2.0 through 3.0, consider applying configuration changes to prevent the use of ELF interpreters without a PT LOAD section in their headers until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
