CVE-2005-4779: Netbsd

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

verifiedexecioctl in verified_exec.c in NetBSD 2.0.2 calls NDINIT with UIO_USERSPACE rather than UID_SYSSPACE, which removes the functionality of the verified exec kernel subsystem and might allow local users to execute Trojan horse programs.

Affected products

• Netbsd Netbsd: version 2.0 only; version 2.0.1 only; version 2.0.2 only
