Apple Mac OS X KQueue Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X KQueue Local Denial of Service Vulnerability

Apple Mac OS X is prone to a local denial-of-service vulnerability because the kernel fails to properly handle exceptional conditions.

Exploiting this issue allows local, unprivileged users to crash affected kernels, denying further service to legitimate users.

Apple Mac OS X version 10.4.8 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
