CVE-2004-0114 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The shmat system call in the System V Shared Memory interface for FreeBSD 5.2 and earlier, NetBSD 1.3 and earlier, and OpenBSD 2.6 and earlier, does not properly decrement a shared memory segment's reference count when the vm_map_find function fails, which could allow local users to gain read or write access to a portion of kernel memory and gain privileges.. EPSS estimates a 0.72% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
