Descriptions

Integer overflow in the ffs_mountfs function in FreeBSD 6.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted UFS filesystem that causes invalid or large size parameters to be provided to the kmem_alloc function. NOTE: a third party states that this issue does not cross privilege boundaries in FreeBSD because only root may mount a filesystem.

Desbordamiento de enteros en la función ffs_mountfs en FreeBSD 6.1 permite a un usuario local provocar denegación de servicio (panico) y posiblemente ejecutar código a través de un sitema de ficheros UFS manipulado que provoca parámetros inválidos o de gran tamaño para proveer la función kmem_alloc. NOTA: Una tercera parte indica que este asunto no pasa los limites de privilegio en FreeBSD ya que solo el root podría montar un sistema de archivos.
