FreeBSD PTrace PT_LWPINFO Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

FreeBSD is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability because of an input-validation flaw related to the handling of integers.

An attacker may leverage this issue to cause the affected computer to crash, denying service to legitimate users.

FreeBSD version 6.0-RELEASE is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
