Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.85%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In FreeBSD before 11.2-RELEASE, an application which calls setrlimit() to increase RLIMIT_STACK may turn a read-only memory region below the stack into a read-write region. A specially crafted executable could be exploited to execute arbitrary code in the user context.
