AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Local access and an unprivileged account are required (AV:L, PR:L); only confidentiality is impacted since no write capability or crash condition exists.

The compat32 kevent() handler translates a 64-bit kevent struct into a stack- declared 32-bit struct. It did not first zero the stack struct.
An unprivileged user may observe a small amount of uninitialized kernel stack data, which may contain sensitive information.
AnalysisAI
Uninitialized kernel stack memory disclosure in FreeBSD's compat32 kevent() handler allows local unprivileged users to read small amounts of sensitive kernel stack data. Affected releases span FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE before p11, 14.4-RELEASE before p7, and 14.3-RELEASE before p16, covering systems where 32-bit application compatibility is enabled. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a local unprivileged account (any standard user, no sudo or special group membership needed) on a 64-bit FreeBSD system where compat32 support is active - the default configuration on amd64 installations. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.5 (Medium) with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately reflects a local, low-privilege, no-user-interaction exploit path. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the official FreeBSD security patches to reach FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p11, 14.4-RELEASE-p7, or 14.3-RELEASE-p16 as appropriate, following the instructions in FreeBSD Security Advisory SA-26:48 at https://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-26:48.compat32.asc. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
