Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57785
Category:	FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:	FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-07:01.jail.asc)
Summary:	FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-07:01.jail.asc)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to the system as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-07:01.jail.asc The jail(2) system call allows a system administrator to lock a process and all of its descendants inside an environment with a very limited ability to affect the system outside that environment, even for processes with superuser privileges. It is an extension of, but far more powerful than, the traditional UNIX chroot(2) system call. The host's jail rc.d(8) script can be used to start and stop jails automatically on system boot/shutdown. In multiple situations the host's jail rc.d(8) script does not check if a path inside the jail file system structure is a symbolic link before using the path. In particular this is the case when writing the output from the jail start-up to /var/log/console.log and when mounting and unmounting file systems inside the jail directory structure. Solution: Upgrade your system to the appropriate stable release or security branch dated after the correction date http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=FreeBSD-SA-07:01.jail.asc
