CVE-2004-0435: Freebsd

Low severity, CVSS 3.6. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Certain "programming errors" in the msync system call for FreeBSD 5.2.1 and earlier, and 4.10 and earlier, do not properly handle the MS_INVALIDATE operation, which leads to cache consistency problems that allow a local user to prevent certain changes to files from being committed to disk.

Affected products

• Freebsd Freebsd: version 4.0 only; version 4.8 only; version 4.9 only; version 4.10 only; version 5.2 only; version 5.2.1 only
