CVE-2006-6014
The NetBSD-current kernel before 20061028 does not properly perform bounds checking of an unspecified userspace parameter in the ptrace system call during a PT_DUMPCORE request, which allows local users to have an unknown impact.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.34%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
