 "verdict": "Line-accurate confirmation; no runtime demonstration attempted (the defect is a boolean oracle with no byte disclosure - practical effect equals invoking the control op). procfs_subr.c:496 compares buflen+1 bytes against nm->nm_name; with an embedded NUL in the /proc/<pid>/ctl string (permitted by vfs_getuserstr) the bcmp reads past the rodata entrys NUL into adjacent .rodata. FreeBSD-parity code. Fix bounds the comparison to strlen(nm_name) == buflen + content equality; compiled in the F40FIX build (procfs in kernel).",
