CVE-2006-5824
Last modified
CVE-2006-5824 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the ffs_rdextattr function in FreeBSD 6.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) and trigger a heap-based buffer overflow via a crafted UFS filesystem, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-5679. NOTE: a third party states that this issue does not cross privilege boundaries in FreeBSD because only root may mount a filesystem.. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
