FreeBSD Local Denial-of-Service Vulnerabilities
FreeBSD is prone to multiple local denial-of-service vulnerabilities. These issues occur because of input-validation flaws related to the handling of integers. An attacker may leverage these issues to cause the affected computer to crash, denying service to legitimate users.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be performed to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized.
