The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The ktimer feature (sys/kern/kern_time.c) in FreeBSD 7.0, 7.1, and 7.2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory via an out-of-bounds timer value.

The weakness was disclosed 03/26/2009 (Website). The advisory is shared at milw0rm.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-1041 since 03/22/2009.
