CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Vulnerability in a system call in BSDI 3.0 and 3.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (reboot) in the kernel via a particular sequence of instructions.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2001-1133 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2001-1133. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
