FreeBSD Kernel Leak

Posted by Hemos on from the batten-the-hatches dept.

Pine Digital Security announced a FreeBSD kernel leak, found when auditing a customer. The leak can be exploited to panic the server or elevate privileges. FreeBSD swiftly updated CVS, a security advisory will probably follow. Both the -RELEASE branch and -CURRENT branch are vulnerable.

    Let me just remind you all that this bug does NOT effect the OS/2 Warp 3.0 kernel.

    I repeat, the OS/2 Warp kernel is not effected!

    But then again, who'd want that source anyways?
