DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in FreeBSD, which can be exploited
by malicious, local users to  gain escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"uipc_bind()" function (sys/kern/uipc_usrreq.c) when handling the
socket length and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code with
"root" privileges.

SOLUTION:
Update FreeBSD or apply patches.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Mateusz Guzik.
