CVE-2008-5162

Status Candidate

Overview

The arc4random function in the kernel in FreeBSD 6.3 through 7.1 does not have a proper entropy source for a short time period immediately after boot, which makes it easier for attackers to predict the function's return values and conduct certain attacks against the GEOM framework and various network protocols, related to the Yarrow random number generator.

FreeBSD Security Advisory - When the arc4random random number generator is initialized, there may be inadequate entropy to meet the needs of kernel systems which rely on arc4random; and it may take up to 5 minutes before arc4random is reseeded with secure entropy from the Yarrow random number generator.
