FreeBSD Alpha execve() Denial of Service Vulnerability
FreeBSD running on the Alpha architecture is susceptible to a denial of service vulnerability in its execve() system call. An attacker with local interactive user-level access on an affected machine is able to crash FreeBSD when running on the Alpha architecture, denying service to legitimate users.
