Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
In FreeBSD before 11.2-RELEASE, multiple issues with the implementation of the stack guard-page reduce the protections afforded by the guard-page. This results in the possibility a poorly written process could be cause a stack overflow.
