FreeBSD 7.0 – 7.2 pseudofs null ptr dereference exploit
This exploit is for FreeBSD 7.0 - 7.2 and is based on a null pointer dereference vulnerability. The exploit involves overwriting the ts_lock.mtx_lock with SYSENT8_SYSCALL_ADDR and then calling kernel_code() which sets the UID to 0 and gives root access.
Mitigation:
The best way to mitigate this vulnerability is to upgrade to the latest version of FreeBSD.
