Freebsd · Freebsd · CVE-2008-0777
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
FreeBSD versions 5.5 through 7.0
**Description**
The issue concerns the sendfile system call, which does not properly check the access flags of the file descriptor used for sending a file. This allows local users to read the contents of files that are supposed to be write-only.
**Recommendations**
For versions 5.5 through 7.0, update to a version that includes a fix for this issue, as the current version allows unauthorized access to file contents.
