Freebsd · Freebsd · CVE-2005-1126
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
FreeBSD versions 4.x through 4.11
FreeBSD versions 5.x through 5.4
**Description**
The issue is related to the SIOCGIFCONF ioctl, specifically the ifconf function, which does not properly clear a buffer before using it. This allows local users to obtain portions of sensitive kernel memory.
**Recommendations**
For FreeBSD versions 4.x through 4.11, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue.
For FreeBSD versions 5.x through 5.4, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ifconf function until a patch is available.
