CVE-2002-1500 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Buffer overflow in (1) mrinfo, (2) mtrace, and (3) pppd in NetBSD 1.4.x through 1.6 allows local users to gain privileges by executing the programs after filling the file descriptor tables, which produces file descriptors larger than FD_SETSIZE, which are not checked by FD_SET().. EPSS estimates a 0.41% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
