September 29, 2011 at 11:51Severe vulnerability in all versions of FreeBSD
Reading this news last night from the phone, I was sure that by morning it would definitely be published on Habré. But no ...
A serious vulnerability was discovered in FreeBSD 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, which exploits the implementation features of local UNIX sockets.
The vulnerability allows a local system user to gain root privileges, as well as exit jail.
The problem is very relevant for hosters running on FreeBSD and giving users ssh access.
To solve the problem, you need to install the latest updates, or install a patch and then rebuild the kernel.
