CVE-2005-4783

CVE-2005-4783 concerns NetBSD kernels where kernfs_xread in kernfs_vnops.c fails to check for a negative offset when reading the message buffer. This lack of validation allows local users to read arbitrary kernel memory. The description specifies impact as a local information disclosure, affectin...
