Description:   Opened: 2007-12-01 21:47 0000 
CVE-2007-6150 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2007-6150):
  The "internal state tracking" code for the random and urandom devices in
  FreeBSD 5.5, 6.1 through 6.3, and 7.0 beta 4 allows local users to obtain
  portions of previously-accessed random values, which could be leveraged to
  bypass protection mechanisms that rely on secrecy of those values.

BSD herd, please advise.

------- Comment #2 From Roy Marples (RETIRED) 2007-12-04 22:42:52 0000 ------- 
Patch is trivial and should be applied. However it's probably not that
essential as it does require local access.

------- Comment #3 From Alexis Ballier 2008-05-17 19:55:00 0000 ------- 
6.2-r4 has the patch

funnily enough, we all know these days how having good source of randomness is
important ;)

------- Comment #4 From Pierre-Yves Rofes 2008-05-17 20:36:13 0000 ------- 
Thanks, closing. Also, don't forget to remove vulnerable versions.
