Freebsd : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2009 (Overflow)

Array index error in the (1) dtoa implementation in dtoa.c (aka pdtoa.c) and the (2) gdtoa (aka new dtoa) implementation in gdtoa/misc.c in libc, as used in multiple operating systems and products including in FreeBSD 6.4 and 7.2, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 4.5, Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, K-Meleon 1.5.3, SeaMonkey 1.1.8, and other products, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large precision value in the format argument to a printf function, which triggers incorrect memory allocation and a heap-based buffer overflow during conversion to a floating-point number.

The ktimer feature (sys/kern/kern_time.c) in FreeBSD 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory via an out-of-bounds timer value.

Integer overflow in the pipe_build_write_buffer function (sys/kern/sys_pipe.c) in the direct write optimization feature in the pipe implementation in FreeBSD 7.1 through 7.2 and 6.3 through 6.4 allows local users to bypass virtual-to-physical address lookups and read sensitive information in memory pages via unspecified vectors.
