Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2006-5679 (CCN-30039)

Assigned:2006-11-03
Published:2006-11-03
Updated:2011-10-11
Summary:Integer overflow in the ffs_mountfs function in FreeBSD 6.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted UFS filesystem that causes invalid or large size parameters to be provided to the kmem_alloc function.
Note: a third party states that this issue does not cross privilege boundaries in FreeBSD because only root may mount a filesystem.
