CVE-2006-0145 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The kernfs_xread function in kernfs in NetBSD 1.6 through 2.1, and OpenBSD 3.8, does not properly validate file offsets against negative 32-bit values that occur as a result of truncation, which allows local users to read arbitrary kernel memory and gain privileges via the lseek system call.. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
