In FreeBSD before 11.2-STABLE(r338987), 11.2-RELEASE-p4, and 11.1-RELEASE-p15, due to insufficient memory checking in the freebsd4_getfsstat system call, a NULL pointer dereference can occur. Unprivileged authenticated local users may be able to cause a denial of service.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
