These operations are not permitted on largepage objects, but the implementation did not verify this.\n\nAn unprivileged local user can abuse the bug to access freed kernel memory.  This can be exploited to escalate privileges.","published":"2026-08-19T06:17:42.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-01T20:05:56.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"secteam@freebsd.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":8.4,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-915"],"affected":["freebsd/freebsd"],"epss":{"score":0.00341,"percentile":0.27466,"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 (0.34%).
