CVE-2004-0114 describes a privilege escalation vulnerability in the shmat system call within the System V Shared Memory interface of FreeBSD 5.2 and earlier, NetBSD 1.3 and earlier, and OpenBSD 2.6 and earlier. This flaw allows local users to gain read or write access to kernel memory due to an improper reference count decrement when vm_map_find fails. With a CVSS score of 4.6 (AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), it indicates a low-complexity local attack that can lead to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While not actively exploited in the wild and lacking Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-23655) exists, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
