FreeBSD PECOFF Executable Loader Panic DoS
This code will panic the FreeBSD kernel due to a bug in the PECOFF executable loader code ('options PECOFF_SUPPORT' in kernel config or `kldload pecoff`). The panic seems to be caused in generic_bcopy due to a page fault, which may be exploitable. This exploit is only a DoS at the moment.
Mitigation:
Disable the PECOFF_SUPPORT option in the kernel configuration or unload the pecoff module.
