CVE-2006-5218

Status: ModifiedMedium (4.6)—

Integer overflow in the systrace_preprepl function (STRIOCREPLACE) in systrace in OpenBSD 3.9 and NetBSD 3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash), gain privileges, or read arbitrary kernel memory via large numeric arguments to the systrace ioctl.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

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).
