Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Multiple integer overflows in the IP_MSFILTER and IPV6_MSFILTER features in (1) sys/netinet/in_mcast.c and (2) sys/netinet6/in6_mcast.c in the multicast implementation in the kernel in FreeBSD 8.3 through 9.2-PRERELEASE allow local users to bypass intended restrictions on kernel-memory read and write operations, and consequently gain privileges, via vectors involving a large number of source-filter entries.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
