Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for kfreebsd-7/kfreebsd-6 some time ago.
CVE-2009-1935[0]:
| Integer overflow in the pipe_build_write_buffer function
| (sys/kern/sys_pipe.c) in the direct write optimization feature in the
| pipe implementation in FreeBSD 7.1 through 7.2 and 6.3 through 6.4
| allows local users to bypass virtual-to-physical address lookups and
| read sensitive information in memory pages via unspecified vectors.
FreeBSD-SA-09:10.ipv6[1]:
| Missing permission check on SIOCSIFINFO_IN6 ioctl
Unfortunately the vulnerability described above is not important enough
to get it fixed via regular security update in Debian stable. It does
not warrant a DSA.
However it would be nice if this could get fixed via a regular point update[2].
Please contact the release team for this.
This is an automatically generated mail, in case you are already working on an
upgrade this is of course pointless.
