Descriptions

The Linux compatibility layer in the kernel in FreeBSD 9.3, 10.1, and 10.2 allows local users to read portions of kernel memory and potentially gain privilege via unspecified vectors, related to "handling of Linux futex robust lists."

La capa de compatibilidad de Linux en el kernel en FreeBSD 9.3, 10.1 y 10.2 permite a usuarios locales leer porciones de la memoria del kernel y potencialmente obtener privilegios a través de vectores no especificados, relacionado con "manejo de listas robustas de futex de Linux".

A programming error in the handling of Linux futex robust lists may result in incorrect memory locations being accessed. It is possible for a local attacker to read portions of kernel memory, which may result in a privilege escalation.
