Descriptions

The procfs implementation in NetBSD-current before 20061023, NetBSD 3.0 and 3.0.1 before 20061024, and NetBSD 2.x before 20061029 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) by attempting to access /emul/linux/proc/0/stat on a procfs filesystem that was mounted with mount_procfs -o linux, which results in a NULL pointer dereference.

La implementación de procfs en NetBSD-current anterior al 23/10/2006, NetBSD 3.0 y 3.0.1 anterior al 29/10/2006 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (error irrecuperable del sistema, "kernel panic") al intentar acceder a /emul/linux/proc/0/stat en un sistema de ficheros procfs que ha sido montado con mount_procfs -o linux, lo cual resulta en una referencia a un puntero NULL.
