CVE-2001-0993
sendmsg function in NetBSD 1.3 through 1.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel trap or panic) via a msghdr structure with a large msg_controllen length.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.33%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
