Descriptions

Integer signedness error in the sockargs function in sys/kern/uipc_syscalls.c in FreeBSD 10.1 before p34, 10.2 before p17, and 10.3 before p3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory overwrite and kernel panic) or gain privileges via a negative buflen argument, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Error de entero sin signo en la función sockargs en sys/kern/uipc_syscalls.c en FreeBSD 10.1 en versiones anteriores a p34, 10.2 en versiones anteriores a p17 y 10.3 en versiones anteriores a p3 permite a usuarios locales provocar una denegación de servicio (sobreescritura de memoria y kernel panic) u obtener privilegios a través de un argumento buflen negativo, lo que desencadena un desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica.
