Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-03 01:32:02 UTC 
CVE-2008-0777 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-0777):
  The sendfile system call in FreeBSD 5.5 through 7.0 does not check the access
  flags of the file descriptor used for sending a file, which allows local
  users to read the contents of write-only files.

BSD herd, please act.

This is the third security bug that is now open, and the others are not moving at all. Are you maintaining the Gentoo BSD port, or can/should this be p.masked?
