CVE-2014-3711

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—

namei in FreeBSD 9.1 through 10.1-RC2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via vectors that trigger a sandboxed process to look up a large number of nonexistent path names.

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).
