Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-09:14.devfs.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-09:14.devfs.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-09:14.devfs.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The device file system (devfs) provides access to system devices, such as
storage devices and serial ports, via the file system namespace.

VFS is the Virtual File System, which abstracts file system operations in
the kernel from the actual underlying file system.

Due to the interaction between devfs and VFS, a race condition exists
where the kernel might dereference a NULL pointer.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.

CVSS Score:
9.3

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
