Package(s):kfreebsd-8 CVE #(s):CVE-2011-4062
Created:October 24, 2011 Updated:October 26, 2011
Description: From the Debian advisory:

Buffer overflow in the "linux emulation" support in the FreeBSD kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) and possibly execute arbitrary code by calling the bind system call with a long path for a UNIX-domain socket, which is not properly handled when the address is used by other unspecified system calls.

Alerts:
Debian DSA-2325-1 2011-10-23
