CVE-2002-1668: HP HP-Ux

Low severity, CVSS 2.1. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

HP-UX 11.11 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel deadlock), due to a "file system weakness" that is possibly via an mmap() system call and performing an I/O operation using data from the mapped buffer on the file descriptor for the mapped file.
