DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2006-01-11 CVE-2006-0055 Unspecified vulnerability in Freebsd
The ispell_op function in ee on FreeBSD 4.10 to 6.0 uses predictable filenames and does not confirm which file is being written, which allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack when ee invokes ispell.

2005-07-26 CVE-2005-2218 Unspecified vulnerability in Freebsd
The device file system (devfs) in FreeBSD 5.x does not properly check parameters of the node type when creating a device node, which makes hidden devices available to attackers, who can then bypass restrictions on a jailed process.

2005-07-05 CVE-2005-2068 Unspecified vulnerability in Freebsd
FreeBSD 4.x through 4.11 and 5.x through 5.4 allows remote attackers to modify certain TCP options via a TCP packet with the SYN flag set for an already established session.

2005-05-31 CVE-2005-0356 Remote Denial Of Service vulnerability in Multiple Vendor TCP Timestamp PAWS
Multiple TCP implementations with Protection Against Wrapped Sequence Numbers (PAWS) with the timestamps option enabled allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection loss) via a spoofed packet with a large timer value, which causes the host to discard later packets because they appear to be too old.

2005-05-02 CVE-2005-1036 Missing Initialization of Resource vulnerability in Freebsd
FreeBSD 5.x to 5.4 on AMD64 does not properly initialize the IO permission bitmap used to allow user access to certain hardware, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions to cause a denial of service, obtain sensitive information, and possibly gain privileges.

7.8
2005-05-02 CVE-2005-0988 Race condition in gzip 1.2.4, 1.3.3, and earlier, when decompressing a gzipped file, allows local users to modify permissions of arbitrary files via a hard link attack on a file while it is being decompressed, whose permissions are changed by gzip after the decompression is complete.

2005-05-02 CVE-2005-0708 The sendfile system call in FreeBSD 4.8 through 4.11 and 5 through 5.4 can transfer portions of kernel memory if a file is truncated while it is being sent, which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.

2005-04-15 CVE-2005-1126 Resource Management Errors vulnerability in Freebsd
The SIOCGIFCONF ioctl (ifconf function) in FreeBSD 4.x through 4.11 and 5.x through 5.4 does not properly clear a buffer before using it, which allows local users to obtain portions of sensitive kernel memory.

2.1
2005-04-12 CVE-2005-0610 Local Insecure Temporary File Handling vulnerability in FreeBSD PortUpgrade
Multiple symlink vulnerabilities in portupgrade before 20041226_2 in FreeBSD allow local users to (1) overwrite arbitrary files and possibly replace packages to execute arbitrary code via pkg_fetch, (2) overwrite arbitrary files via temporary files when portupgrade upgrades a port or package, or (3) create arbitrary zero-byte files via the pkgdb.fixme temporary file.

2005-03-05 CVE-2005-0109 Information Disclosure vulnerability in Multiple Vendor Hyper-Threading Technology
Hyper-Threading technology, as used in FreeBSD and other operating systems that are run on Intel Pentium and other processors, allows local users to use a malicious thread to create covert channels, monitor the execution of other threads, and obtain sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, via a timing attack on memory cache misses.
