Title: OpenBSD XMM Exceptions Local Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
OpenBSD is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability.
Given the way that the operating system handles XMM exceptions, a local attacker may interact with a vulnerable computer in a malicious manner and trigger a denial-of-service condition by causing a kernel panic.
This issue affects OpenBSD 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6 on i386.
Affected Products:
- OpenBSD OpenBSD 4.4
- OpenBSD OpenBSD 4.5
- OpenBSD OpenBSD 4.6
