CVE-2004-0099: Freebsd

Medium severity, CVSS 4.6. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

mksnap_ffs in FreeBSD 5.1 and 5.2 only sets the snapshot flag when creating a snapshot for a file system, which causes default values for other flags to be used, possibly disabling security-critical settings and allowing a local user to bypass intended access restrictions.

Affected products
