Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-05:03.amd64.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:03.amd64.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:03.amd64.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The AMD64 architecture has two mechanisms for permitting processes to
access hardware: Kernel code can access hardware directly by reason of
its elevated privilege level, while user code can access a subset of
hardware determined by a bitmap.

The bitmap which determines which hardware can be accessed by unprivileged
processes was not initialized properly.

Solution:
Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release
or security branch dated after the correction date.

CVSS Score:
