Detail

The asynchronous I/O facility in 4.4 BSD kernel does not check user credentials when setting the recipient of I/O notification, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by using certain ioctl and fcntl calls to cause the signal to be sent to an arbitrary process ID.

Id Description
11062 Multiple BSD Kernel Asynchronous I/O Facility Notification DoS

Certain BSD-derived kernels contain a flaw that may allow a local denial of service. The issue is triggered when a malicious user sends signals to arbitrary processes via certain ioctl and fcntl system calls to interrupt or kill processes, resulting in loss of availability for the service or platform.
