FreeBSD CVE-2007-3721 Denial-Of-Service Vulnerability

FreeBSD is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. The ULE process scheduler in the FreeBSD kernel gives preference to "interactive" processes that perform voluntary sleeps, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption), as described in "Secretly Monopolizing the CPU Without Superuser Privileges."
