What is CVE-2003-1289?
The iBCS2 system call translator in NetBSD and FreeBSD contains a vulnerability that allows local users to read sensitive portions of kernel memory through an improperly validated length parameter.

This may lead to further attacks or unauthorized access, emphasizing the need for timely updates and patches.
