Buffer overflow in the kernel in FreeBSD 7.3 through 9.0-RC1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (panic) or possibly gain privileges via a bind system call with a long pathname for a UNIX socket.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
