FreeBSD Kernel SendFile System Call Local Information Disclosure Vulnerability

A local information disclosure vulnerability affects the FreeBSD kernel. This issue arises due to a failure of the affected system call to validate the current size of a file being sent over a network.

A local attacker may leverage this issue to disclose arbitrary and potentially sensitive kernel memory. Exploitation of this issue may facilitate further attacks against the affected computer.
