Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59932
Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Security Advisory (FreeBSD-SA-07:09.random.asc)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-07:09.random.asc
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory FreeBSD-SA-07:09.random.asc

Vulnerability Insight:
The random(4) and urandom(4) devices return an endless supply of
pseudo-random bytes when read. Cryptographic algorithms often depend
on the secrecy of these pseudo-random values for security.

Under certain circumstances, a bug in the internal state tracking on
the random(4) and urandom(4) devices can be exploited to allow replaying
of data distributed during subsequent reads.

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

CVSS Score:
2.1

CVSS Vector:
AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
