Vulnerabilities > CVE-2002-0766 - Unspecified vulnerability in Openbsd 2.9/3.0/3.1

Summary

OpenBSD 2.9 through 3.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) and gain root privileges by filling the kernel's file descriptor table and closing file descriptors 0, 1, or 2 before executing a privileged process, which is not properly handled when OpenBSD fails to open an alternate descriptor.
