Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). Integer signedness error in FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and kernel panic) via a PT_LWPINFO ptrace command with a large negative data value that satisfies a signed maximum value check but is used in an unsigned copyout function call.
