FreeBSD Information for VU#369427

Date Notified:2000-10-23
Date Updated:
Statement Date:
Status Summary:Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

FreeBSD was also vulnerable to this problem since the affected code has a common ancestor. Like OpenBSD, we fixed the problem during security auditing in 2000/07, but did not realise it to be a security vulnerability since the function is not part of a library on FreeBSD, but the source code file containing the function is included directly in the affected setuid programs. FreeBSD 3.5.1 and 4.0 are the most recent affected versions - 4.1 and 4.1.1 are unaffected.

An advisory is under preparation and will likely be released on 2000/10/30.
