Technical details
A memory leak exists in the VxWorks 7 process management subsystem where certain system call arguments prevent proper deallocation of kernel memory when a process terminates. The vulnerability requires local access to invoke affected system calls. An attacker can repeatedly trigger this condition to exhaust kernel memory, leading to denial of service.
