CVE-2002-1490
Status: ModifiedLow (2.1)—
NetBSD 1.4 through 1.6 beta allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) via a series of calls to the TIOCSCTTY ioctl, which causes an integer overflow in a structure counter and sets the counter to zero, which frees memory that is still in use by other processes.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
- Base score: 2.1
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.33%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 25
- Score date: 10/9/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
