Hello,
We recently did work with the Cqual type inference tool to identify
potential user/kernel pointer bugs in FreeBSD 5.3. Our paper is
available here: http://www.node99.org/projects/bsduk/
We identified 5 potential bugs which we are looking to confirm with the
community. Page 10 contains an example of one such candidate. More
true positives may be identified by using a machine with 10 or more gigs
of RAM for inter-file analysis of the entire kernel. If interested,
please email me.
Best,
-Sean
