Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation. Certain "programming errors" in the msync system call for FreeBSD 5.2.1 and earlier, and 4.10 and earlier, do not properly handle the MS_INVALIDATE operation, which leads to cache consistency problems that allow a local user to prevent certain changes to files from being committed to disk.
