high Nessus Plugin ID 92923

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl(2) handler allows a malicious local user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory.
Impact : A local user may crash the kernel, read a portion of kernel memory and execute arbitrary code in kernel context. The result of executing an arbitrary kernel code is privilege escalation.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
