Descriptions

When dumping core and saving process information, proc_getargv() might return an sbuf which have a sbuf_len() of 0 or -1, which is not properly handled. An out-of-bound read can happen when user constructs a specially crafted ps_string, which in turn can cause the kernel to crash.

Al volcar el núcleo y guardar la información del proceso, proc_getargv() puede devolver un sbuf que tiene un sbuf_len() de 0 o -1, que no se maneja adecuadamente. Puede ocurrir una lectura fuera de los límites cuando el usuario construye un ps_string especialmente manipulado, lo que a su vez puede provocar que el kernel falle.
