Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in OpenBSD, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to escalate their privileges or cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in "compat_ibcs2". This can be exploited by running a specially crafted binary, which causes a buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code with escalated privileges on OpenBSD 3.3. However, exploitation is detected by ProPolice in OpenBSD 3.4 and therefore only causes a DoS.
