The undocumented semconfig system call in BSD freezes the state of semaphores, which allows local users to cause a denial of service of the semaphore system by using the semconfig call.

NetBSD 1.4.2 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service by repeatedly running certain system calls in the kernel which do not yield the CPU, aka "cpu-hog".

ftpd in NetBSD 1.4.2 does not properly parse entries in /etc/ftpchroot and does not chroot the specified users, which allows those users to access other files outside of their home directory.

NetBSD 1.4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a packet with an unaligned IP timestamp option.
