FKIE_CVE-2016-1885

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2016-04-12 02:00 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:42
Summary
Integer signedness error in the amd64_set_ldt function in sys/amd64/amd64/sys_machdep.c in FreeBSD 9.3 before p39, 10.1 before p31, and 10.2 before p14 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via an i386_set_ldt system call, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
