Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in FreeBSD, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to disclose potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow within the implementation of "direct pipe writes", which can lead to virtual-to-physical address lookups being skipped. This can be exploited to e.g. disclose memory parts of other processes.
