CVE-2000-0094

Summary

CVE-2000-0094 is a vulnerability affecting BSD systems that allows local users to elevate their privileges to root level. The issue lies in the procfs component, which allows manipulation of the /proc/pid/mem interface through a modified file descriptor for standard error output. This allows malicious users to write data into the memory of other processes, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution and gaining root privileges. This vulnerability poses a significant security risk and should be addressed promptly by system administrators.
