A large value caused an integer overflow in the buffer size calculation, resulting in a heap allocation smaller than expected.  Subsequent initialization of the buffer wrote beyond the end of the allocation.\n\nAn unprivileged local user with access to a vt(4) device can trigger an out-of-bounds write in the kernel, potentially escalating privileges.","published":"2026-06-27T10:16:38.000Z","lastModified":"2026-07-01T14:04:11.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"secteam@freebsd.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-190"],"affected":["freebsd/freebsd"],"epss":{"score":0.00153,"percentile":0.04428,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.15%).
