Hello all,
I have been testing the security on my machine (FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE) and
I noticed a bug that could potentially reboot a box from any type of user,
root or regular user. What I did was I just gave the box a whole bunch of w
commands like w;w;w;w;w, etc. and just let that run. A few seconds later,
the box coredumped and rebooted. I got this to occur several times in a row.
Is this some kind of known vulnerability or is this just something that will
have to be investigated further? If interested in more details, please feel
free to e-mail me. Thanks.
