CVE Name: CVE-2006-0433For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit
<URL:http://www.freebsd.org/security/>.I. Background
SACK (Selective Acknowledgement) is an extension to the TCP/IP protocol
that allows hosts to acknowledge the receipt of some, but not all, of
the packets sent, thereby reducing the cost of retransmissions.II. Problem Description
When insufficient memory is available to handle an incoming selective
acknowledgement, the TCP/IP stack may enter an infinite loop.III. Impact
By opening a TCP connection and sending a carefully crafted series of
packets, an attacker may be able to cause a denial of service.IV. Workaround
On FreeBSD 5.4, the net.inet.tcp.sack.enable sysctl can be used to
disable the use of SACK:# sysctl net.inet.tcp.sack.enable=0
No workaround is available for FreeBSD 5.3.
V. Solution
Perform one of the following:
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 5-STABLE or to the RELENG_5_4 or
RELENG_5_3 security branch dated after the correction date.2) To patch your present system:
The following patch have been verified to apply to FreeBSD 5.3 and
5.4 systems.a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and ...

CVE Name: CVE-2008-4247For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.I. Background
lukemftpd(8) is a general-purpose implementation of File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) server that is shipped with the FreeBSD base system. It is not enabled
in default installations but can be enabled as either an inetd(8) server,
or a standard-alone server.A cross-site request forgery attack is a type of malicious exploit that is
mainly targeted to a web browser, by tricking a user trusted by the site
into visiting a specially crafted URL, which in turn executes a command
which performs some privileged operations on behalf of the trusted user
on the victim site.II. Problem Description
The lukemftpd(8) server splits long commands into several requests. This
may result in the server executing a command which is hidden inside
another very long command.III. Impact
This could, with a specifically crafted command, be used...

CVE Name: CVE-2009-3555For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.0. Revision History
v1.0 2009-12-03 Initial release.
v1.1 2009-12-03 Corrected instructions in section V.2)b).I. Background
The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols
provide a secure communications layer over which other protocols can be
utilized. The most widespread use of SSL/TLS is to add security to the
HTTP protocol, thus producing HTTPS.FreeBSD includes software from the OpenSSL Project which implements SSL
and TLS.II. Problem Description
The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.III. Impact
An attacker who can intercept a TCP connection being used for SSL or TLS
