OpenVMS Exception Handling Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

OpenVMS is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability because the operating system fails to handle exceptions properly.

Attackers must have AUDIT privileges to exploit this issue. This privilege is not commonly granted to normal users.

A local attacker can exploit this vulnerability to crash affected computers, denying service to legitimate users.

Few technical details are currently available. We will update this BID as more information emerges.
