ps(1) and w(1).
The Linux process file system, linprocfs(5), emulates a subset of
Linux's process file system and is required for the complete operation
of some Linux binaries.
The procfs and linprocfs implementations use uiomove(9) and the
related `struct uio' in order to fulfill read and write requests.
Several cases were identified where members of `struct uio' were not
properly validated before being used. In particular, the `uio_offset'
member may be negative or extremely large, and was used to compute the
region of kernel memory to be returned to the user.");
